Hello I'm doing some work on one of my bikes and wanted to change the headlight on the front end now I've always liked the foxeye front end and I'm trying to find one. Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get one from. I know you can get the cafe look and the dominator with the tiny screen if you can call it that.

I've seen them on bikes that shouldn't have them in the first place so I know it's possible. Anything is with the right amount of cash.

There's a french company www.poly26.com who make all sorts of replica and aftermarket plastics.

They are VERY French so if your French isn't fluent enough to call them up and buy what you want, you need to find your part and order it from their UK importers. "Nos revendeurs" means their dealers.

A nose fairing is "Tête De Fourche". But also check under the model of bike because they do some specific aftermarket ones too.

I've got their fairings on my VFR, they are a good fit and solidly made. You will need to make up your own bracketry and paint them.

The picture isn't of anything resembling a foxeye.

It does however resemble the powerbronze endurance aftermarket fairing.

The R1 is a foxeye, that’s a twin endurance.

I don’t know if Powerbronze are still going but they used to make all sorts of aftermarket fairings.

However, aftermarket fairings all look pony. If you want a faired bike buy a faired bike.

First thing I thought of was the old Fazer - but it's lights look totally different than those in the OP.
