    A friend has this restomod Honda.
    I really like what he did with the headlight.
    it's from a wrecked cbr600.
    I think the windscreen is the modified/cut/upside down windscreen.20150430_142851.jpg

      Here's another picture.
      I think the angular style of this headlight works on this bike.
      There are literally thousands of used dual headlights from wrecked bikes on eBay available.
      All kinds of shapes and sizes.
      I've got a dual headlight out of a gxr600 that I'm mounting on my 1100E.20150430_142905.jpg

          The modern lights like I pictured have sealed housings and some even up/down adnusting knobs

            True, dat. Some of the factory twin lights look ok without their associated plastic around them, too.

              Here is the setup I'm working on.
              It's a dual headlight out of a pre 2010 GSXR.
              From my initial trials I'm pretty sure I can mount it using the stock GS1100E headlight brackets turned upside down and mounted back onto the fork legs on the side opposite to where they were originally.
              The top and bottom headlight both have big external housing adjusting knobs that allow for up/down adjustment.
              I intend to cut/trim a sport bike windscreen to fit the contours of this housing to make a small fairing/instrument hood as well.
              I will post updated pics as it comes together.20160717_082417[1].jpg
