My advice is make sure it's uk legal Thumbs Up They may be "E" marked, but that means jack shit unless you know the E-numbers it has stamped on it. just for reference, if it has the following numbers stamped on it, it may not be UK legal;

Arrow E8 7R-01-90-13
Arrow E8 01-90-12

they're the numbers off an old foreign spec light of mine, so be weary of any units with those numbers on. The "dominator" headlights have been known to be iffy...

Have a look at these places:
StreetFighterStore.com Aggressive Headlights
Fast Bike Bits Headlights

They look pretty decent. There is also a headlight style called the 'Mantis' which is similar to the Zyklon headlight in the first link, except the holes for the lights are round and not square. Can't find it on the net at the moment though.

If you can be bothered to buy from the USA, Wild Hair Accessories have some pretty decent stuff too:

If you buy one, spend the money and get a decent one. The cheap ones are exactly that.

Consider a jack-up kit, some renthals and some bar end mirrors for the truely universal bandit 'streetfighter' look.

My idea for a unique headlight would be to chop a crash hat in half, spray it up fit some lights in the visor slot. I know people have done it but its a bit more original than the twin light conversion etc.
