Looked at a new Thruxton today. I want that big headlight on my Rocket 3. Now to find the parts on E-Bay, I don't need two lights. My Norton's have one. Gary..
i'd never go back to 1 light again. a) better/wider vision at night, 2) if 1 light dies i can get home with 1, (iii) it's difficult to judge distance with 1 light so having 2 makes me more visible to cagers imo, (d) harleys have 1 light (or 3 with spot lamps) and ya dont want to look like a harley now do ya :lol:
oh and (5) the bug eye look of the rocket is both really cool and unique-ish
I went the other route,
I've got 3 on mine.
To see and be seen ain't a bad thing.
I figure with 3 triangle lights in a triangle pattern
that's "unusual" enough to "MAYBE" get me noticed by cagers
who are busy texting, talking or otherwise distracted.
To each his own right?
Good luck with your project.

I am admonished. My Streettriple has two, So I leave two on my 05 Rocket. It was just an impulse. In the old days I put Hella halogen on my Norton, to see better and farther. Gary.

i was actually thinking about going with 3 for a brief moment before i even got the bike, as in rocket "3" etc. but then after i made up this comparison pic i realised the 2 lamps match the 2 clocks and the 2 mirrors etc... and the whole bug eye thing, especially with the angry screen on..."grrrr".... :lol:

people call it the angry fly/sportscreen, but there are 2 versions of the angry. i call this one the roundy angry.
there's a UK dude on here who makes screens and bellypan/chinspoilers, but that's the flat angry
i see perdurabo on here has a roundy angry, perhaps he or warp can divulge the source of that screen.
i have the standard OEM sportscreen, and plan on putting the roundy angry on when i do the turbo conversion
