This one looks sweet.
Acerbis cyclops as seen here.
If I had a fighter I'd use it.

try trawling thru the fighter build threads here for ideas ..
we can suggest all sorts of ideas but none of us know your budget or building abilities, do you want just bolt on stuff ?? can you fabricate brackets ?
my slabby with a micro cruise light for dip beam and a driving light for main beam, 2x 5mm leds for side lights drilled thru the back of the reflector of the driving light
i stuck a B12 headlight on my naked GSX1100f after trying a pair of dominator lights so i could see where i was goingLast edited by NiteMare; 09-27-2008, 05:43 PM.it ain't broke ....

My skill level is comparable I have access to welders and am competent in building/fabricating. My budget is relatively unlimited I dont really want to spend more than 200 on my lights lol Ebay posts are much appreciated..I have looked through A LOT of the pics and posts but I really like most set ups...I would like to have a very bright set up however because I do a fair amount of night riding. thanks everyone who already posted...
I dont particularly like the cyclops Either, although I do revere your tail section...Tough Bike no Doubt...also dig those tails...Mod/deletion Suggest, make either blink with turn signals...thanks for the ideas though!

the light pattern from either lamp isn't brilliant but is bright, i use the micro cruise as dipped beam then switch the bigger lamp in with it to give better range ( both lights are then on), still not perfect/ideal but acceptable and allows you to get a move on ....
my main light is an old bumper mounted driving lamp that i removed the mount from and made my own out of a piece of 2mm mild steel sheet so i could bolt it to the top yoke and used three small bolts thru the back of the housing so i could alter it's beam position...
i hung the microcruise bolted to the lower case, i then drilled and mounted 5x 3.5mm leds thru the top of the driving lamp ...
also hung my indies from the same case, total cost of the build including all components (28 English Pounds for the micro cruise lights, one pair of so i have a spare) came to less than 40 English Pounds, i'll guess that works out at around 80 - 85 U.S. ..
Maplins for led's, scrapyard for driving lamp, Halfords for the micro cruise lights, take your pick where you get indies from
it just took a little planning to buildit ain't broke ....
