Hey guys first id like to say hi, i just bought a 2003 speedmaster and have been researching this site like crazy.I used the search function and came up empty, also google didnt help much. One thing i would like to change on my bike is the headlight. It is scratched from the previous owners accident(it was a salvage bike). The rim that goes around the glass is all thats scratched, but i REALLY like the dual headlights. Just wondering if anyone has them or knows where to get some that would fit the speedmaster. Thanks in advance!

Doc,
I just ordered the Rivco Driving Light Bar from Newspeedmaster. They hope to ship it this week. Bar has two
4-1/2" 35 watt lights, signal relocation kit, and wire/switch
@ 240.00 thats less than a Two headlamp kit. I will let you know how it works out after install

I was thinking of doing this mod as well but it is kinda pricey, I just don't like the 3 light setup and I don't ride at night all that much anyway.

There was nothing really special about Thunderbike's kit. The lights are readily available (and other styles, of course) from aftermarket vendors. Various styles of headlight mounting blocks are also available. All ya gotta do is figure out some little bracket to connect the dots. Shouldn't be that hard.
P.S. I've thought about doing this myself, but I picked up a 5 3/4" recessed headlight off ebay instead. Now I just have to figure out a mounting block and the wiring.

I would be researching the www.cyclestuff more carefully if your considering there dual light set up.IF you read it carefully it sounds like to me that only one beam is on in the low position and only one is on in the high position.I may be totally wrong.

nah, I'm not going to get anything from cyclestuff, I just thought of putting it here just in case anybody else would be interested.
I might eventually take FriarJohn's suggestions and design a bracket for whatever I get but not anytime soon.
