I've seen the light, I didn't like it...

Anyone ... done a single headlight conversion on a Rocket?

Aesthetic considerations apart - WHY?

I can't even see with two lights. was thinking about adding a third. skips bike looks great! taking off one cyl. would suck but adding another 46 inches would be great . image the fun!

Aesthetic considerations apart - WHY?

Only aesthetic reasons really - I thought the sincle with cowl on the all black bike (pic in this thread) looked way too small and if someone was going to change the light why not try a little harder to get the proportion right.

I don't care really how many lights are on the front - I do love the passion with which everyone here reacts though! Shows just how deep into our psyche this beast of a machine can get!

I was gonna make a joke about how 'one-eyed' Rocket owners are......is it too soon to make that ironic a pun???????

If you go through the Photo Album you'll spot a few. There's at least one with a bigger single, but as you say, it really looks too small up front of such a big bike.

So, just pokin' the hornets nest were you? We'll have to keep an eye on you I reckon.

The orange bike seems to have the size right - ta for the pics, i've been trawling the photo gallery for days.

Wasn't deliberately being provocative though i did assume there would be a little bit of a 'fuss'

Don't it piss ya of when you see those twin headlights coming towards you and it's only one of them wanna be Thunderbirds or worse still Harley's attempt to get on Triumph's twin headlight band wagon.

Hey Hunty .. have a look at Pozah's photos. He's got a V-Rod headlight and fairing on his bike. Reckon it looks pretty smick myself ... Regards Mr Tomcat

Nice machine all 'round - sadly I got spanked by a V-Rod only this morning, on my way to work. There should be a clause in the Triumph warranty policy that says 100% throttle and red-lining are OK during running-in period if Harley Fergusons, sorry, Massey Davidson's are around!!

How about 3 headlights? I know one for sure

Mine has 3...

If I ever see a Rocket with a single light I will run them off the road and dance on the burning wreckage! Touring models included!

Dainty little headlights belong on dainty little motorcycles.
