For some reason, I think the tubers look better than the XB's. Don't get me wrong, this bike is everything I ever wanted when I'm riding it. But when I'm off of it, it just doesn't look right to me. I think I've figured it out. Call me old fashioned, but I like motorcycles with ONE large round headlight. Has anyone grafted a single round headlight on their XB? If so, could you post a picture and maybe some info about what the light came off of and how difficult the change over was.

Thanks, Roy

I like the look of my Firebolts lights (though when they first came out I thought it was ugly). I really wish they where brighter. A lot of the guys I ride with (Japanese bikes) seem to have better lighting. When I get some $$ together I may convert to HID.

As for Lightnings with single headlights do a search I am pretty sure I saw one on here.

I found one after an exhaustive search. Jessea has done the cyclops thing on his bike with the the chrome air box cover. Its perfect!

Thanks gunner. I guess I found it about the time you posted it.

couple guys over at MONSTER List have grafted the XB Lightning headlamp assembley onto their Ducati(s). probably be easy and inexpensive to grab up a couple spare 7 inch ducati headlights. they are BIG BRIGHT and SINGULAR. I think it is the exact same as used on twenty years worth of BMW models too.
