Good headlights (CE approved) are expensive. £100 can get you some good ones, cheap ones are usually crap.


I had those ones until the bulbs melted themselves out of the housing, might have needed a resistor or something. The light from them was OK but still not brilliant.

Good rule of thumb is only stick to lights with metal reflectors.

Those enduro/streetfighter cheap things have plastic lenses and crap bulbs, upgrade the bulb to get more light and you melt the reflector.

Cheers

Insulation tape. Just don't make the wires touch the radiator if you're worried about them melting.

You'll need the brackets to fit your forks too.

Remember all your other wiring will be exposed with them, you need to waterproof and stash it somewhere.

They are stupidly expensive from somewhere like streetfighterstore, mine were actually from just a local small bike shop, about £10/£15 I think.

I assume your fork diameter will be smaller than mine so these might be ok:

Some brackets
(not suggesting 'carbon look' Sick they were just the first I found!!)

Dominators, how original... Rolling Eyes

Nothing against them, they are good lights, but its almost like a 'requirement' for a streetfighter now.


Twin rectangular ones are the way, not seen on many 'fighters at all.

Thumbs Up

most streetfighters aren't streetfighters, theyre just bikes with those type of headlights with a set of renthal bars, which is just a cheap way of repairing a crashed bike rather than a streetfighter

bikes covered in lots shiny polished crap and some fancy expensive paintjob also isnt a street fighter

chillpill are you streetfightering it properly? Smile
