Some before and after pics showing changes to headlamps (5.75" black to 7" chrome, mounted higher up to clear cycle wings, etc.) and exhaust can (R1 carbon with no cat, to replace s/s can with cat) Rescued attachment 2008-01-05 Headlights and can before and after.JPG

Are your old lights looking for a new home?

Sorry Neil - the old lights have already gone to a good home (someone on here).

...unless you are looking for some orange indicators?

I want to go the other way, i want smaller lights.
Still looks nice though.

It looks like a ca..... now. Looking good

Personal I want the lights below the line hood-cycle wing. So thanks for the measurements

Yes, I know the trend is to get smaller lights, but since I'm not planning to race I figured I could manage with the extra wind resistance!

With the other lights the cycle wings were touching the lights on full lock.

Also, since I previously had to raise the nose cone up to avoid having a mahusive scoop on the bonnet to clear the engine, having the new lights well above bonnet level seems to visually lower the nose.

And yes, they are actually ex-Ca****am lights

I think 7's look much nicer with the classic "frog eye" style large headlamps
