New headlamps
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)

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?

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
