No it doesnt at all.
I never modded my bandit as I looked at other peoples and they looked cheap and tacky.
however I dont worry about such trivial things as trying in vein to make my bike look nice. It just does.  |

I had one similar for my GS500,
Ive been trying to find a pic of it but i cant right now.
Basically it will look relatively small when you put it on, and it will make your front forks look realy realy lanky...
Yes it will look more streetfighter than a circular headlight... but it does look a bit odd.
Try it and see,

I agree, i think it looks horrific. Hence why i changed it, although if you give me another 5 mins ill drag up a picture of my "Modification" of it that looks a lot better!
And no, the headlights are no better than the original, if i remember correctly they may be worse. I also had a rather nasty problem with the twin conversion. One of the bulbs inside the headlight actually started to melt the plastic surrounding it, causing the bulb to move and vibrate a lot, and then it blew.
So i would not fit another conversion like that, although hold on and ill find a picture you might be interested in.
EDIT Here:
What i did was remove the twin unit out from the bikin fairing, saw off the bottom panel of the fairing, and re-mount some new indicators where the original ones went. Then placed the bikini fairing as a surround, around my original single headlight! Was awsome, it relfected the light because it cut the top section off the lamp, so it didnt shine into car windows or go too high, and it relfected the light it cut off downwards, so you got a little bit of extra definition on the floor.

I think those sort of headlights only suit highly modified streetfighters which usualy have a custom front headlight fairing anyway, or on supermotos. Dan ____________________ Don't ride it, RAG IT!! |

buell style all the way! - twin head lights with the plastic flappy bit above - looks real nice.
The cagiva mito's top fairing makes a nice half fairing.

Unless you mashed the original bits keep them!
Haveing an aftermarket faring screams "been crashed and needed cheapo replacement" and will probably put buyers off 99% of the time.. ____________________ >RidingSkills<->Tech Tips<->MyBikes< |
