Has anyone changed their headlight setup? I see some bikes with the double lights ( horizontal). I am guessing that the doubles are taken off a newer lighting and put on the tubers. Is this easily done? A photo of a cyclone with the double light would be good to see.

There is something about the 7" round headlight that just looks natural on a tuber. Now upgrading the bulb, that is a cheaper alternative.

Number 5 is alive!

Call me crazy (you wouldn't be the first or last) but dual's on a tuber just looks funny. It's like the headlights look like eyeballs and the front tire is this long open mouth with the Home Alone movie expression from that little kid.

One thing I have seen that I like is replacing the stock headlight with on from a V-rod!

its made by Kury... spelling?

its less than 400.00 and I don't have a clue about high or low beam

It only draws 35 watts verse the norm 55. So I could then use some running lights for even more light and visablity by cagers. I wrecked my s1w after only three days so now I want to ensure cagers see me.

If I am not mistaken, these look like the dual light assembly sold by the guy on the Ducati Monster List site.
He sells a dual light set made with "Angel Eyes" and mounts right up in the stock 7" light location.

Actually, this setup was made from some cheap driving lights purchased from Advanced Auto..I later replaced them with the stock XB lights..I did it more for a safety issue than for the looks...as I have a difficult time with night riding..The XB setup worked really well and gave off a ton more light...
