Any info on custom headlight assemblies, DK has 2 an oval & rectangular, but at the cost of 500. each. ouch!! There used to be alot of differernt options available yrs ago, seems like that is now not the case. Think the Speedy would look great with 2 rectangulars stacked low beam on the bottom & high beam on the top set back to let the lights follow the slope of the forks. JMO tho. Thanks

The old over and under headlights look good when you have extended your front end. try side by side?


Yeah it's fast. It's blue and it has flames.

don't know if it's helpful but should you go that route why not just buy driving lights?

alot of the 60's/ 70's trump choppers did just that. my 71 was set-up that way when i bought it - ditched it & went back to stock.

12 volts is 12 volts. fabbing a bracket isn't that much work.

Have checked in to the driving lights, have a couple of sets, mini square, & mini retangular. Was going to mount the mini square between the forks underneath the head light, but the space between the forks still is not wide enough to mount both. Thinking on mounting a single rectangular light there.

Hope in the not so far future I will get a light bar set up. But first things first, shorty tors, K&N or Uni airfilters.

Like the looks of the twin headlights given it some thought too. But again a set of matching headlight assemblies still is in the range of $400. So I add $100. get the oval or rectangular headlight assembly. Really got to give it some thought, hate to go one way, & find out after dropping that much, & realize it is not to my liking. Then looking at dropping more to get the look I want.

So I'm trying to get a feel, checking out different options. Also hearing any ideas from any & all.

Thanks

I've thought of this as well and would love to do it but wanted a screen at the same time. Couldn't find one that would work with two headlights.
