True. Cost of Buell headlight: $149. Cost of Ducati headlight: $310 Guess what we do when a Monster needs a headlight. Danny 95 S2 02 V-Strom PT P&S; MD&B, at least for three more weeks. | ||

It is also the same as a early 80's (?) BMW. True story, we found that the headlight company would only run this lamp once a year because of the large size. We ended up buying all the headlamps in BMW's North American warehouse. This is when I realized just how much support there was for Buell in the US biker community. | ||

Actually, most of the Duc riders, especially Monster drivers, rely on the DML(Ducati Monster List) to exchange information the same we do here on BadWeb! Only the most well-healed Ducatisti buy such things as headlights from the dealers. Good ol' entrepeneurship hard at work in America! | ||

There is one advantage to be had from the Monster headlight bucket. You can buy it from Ducati Performance in carbon fiber. About £120 in England. Rocket | ||

I recall reading that you can buy only the lens from BMW if thats all you need. | ||

You can buy the lens cheaper from a Bosch dealer. After all, they manufacture it. Quote the number on the glass. Rocket |
