900 Ie Headlight Conversion... 999 Spots

  1. Another day another question.

    I've heard very bad things about the headlight on the bike(better light out of a torch from poundstretcher), and stumbled across this fairing.

    I very much like the look of it, but have no idea on lights, what would fit and which to go with.

    Has anyone successfully performed this face-lift? I'm holding off on buying it as of now....

  2. Also interested to know about this. Much weight to be lost over the nose, methinks. Fairing, frame, lights, clocks....5kg saving possible maybe?
     
  3. I don't think 999 projectors will fit as the holes look different sizes. I'm guessing a subframe with lamp mounts would have to be fabricated. I would contact fairing supplier and ask what they recomend. 999 headlamp shell and lights are not cheap and quite heavy and the speedo console fits into it as a unit so if it does fit there's a bit of messing about involved.
     
  4. we happen to have a spare 999 unit in the garage - (Matt's my son, mines the 999).

    It's a hulking great thing mind so probably too much effort. Methinks find some separate spots that fit and knock up a frame to mount - keep the clocks and all as standard.

    Either that or mate a 999 top fairing to 900 lowers .....
     
  5. I have one of these spare.......
