    Dual headlights

    Does anyone have any information or links to dual headlights for my project bike. I have a GSXR front end and don't want to use the old square headlight from the 1100. I've been looking around and seen a few, but nothing so far has grabbed me. Thanks.

    I found these. Not bad.



    I like the twin blacks. Still looking however.

      Here is a set for a SV650 on Ebay. They are a little bit different than the ones on streetfighter.com.

          Hmmm, I've got to think on that one. :?

          Look at the different guages on the 2 bikes. The black one has guages in a cup. Is that stock? I may have to find a set of those.

            The Black bike is an early model 99-02. The silver one is a late model 03-05.

              That's a really nice look. I have been thinking about finding Speed tripple lights to do the same thing

                hi guys,
                sure is a good look, my bro has a trumpy rocket 111, it has the twin headlights... which got me thinkin' about them too: however, my stumbling block is the added drain on the charg'n system etc..... or is there another globe to give the required brilliance when running 2 of them but not drawing twice the current... any knowledge on this would be appreciated... thanx

                  Lucky, Doug, you and I have one of the largest headlights ever put on a bike! I was just out the other night (haven't done much night riding on the 83 yet) and with a Silverstar bulb, that thing lights up the road something serious.

                    Good point I haven't even thought of that. I suppose one way around it would be to have one wired for low beam and the other for High.

                      Swanny, the first generation Bandits had beautiful chrome buckets on the guages. Almost looked like bullet tips. If thats the look you want, I'd check those out....

                        Will the electrical system (alternator, fuses, etc.) on these things support 2 headlights?

                          Yeah, I love the monster headlight on my 83 1100 and 85 1150. With a silverstar, it lights a path about 60 feet wide right in front of the bike and reaches out about 800 ft. :-) :-) DAYTIME! :-)

                            Now tell me what is the# of this elusive "silverstar"???
                            When I was down at wally world killing time waiting for my 'scripts to be filled I was in the headlight aisle looking over these beasts. 8O
                            I was thinking of getting a pair for the Taurus. I noticed they listed the GS but wasn't sure if I could trust a book off of the shelf, so to speak. It was the Phillips?/ I think book. Who ever manufactures the silverstar

                              i like the silver star on my gs, but i installed a set of sealed beam S.S on my jeep and they only lasted 4 months and at 20 bucks a pop i'm driving around with my high beams on cause i'm to cheap to buy new headlights......
