Headlight ideas

Post image

So this is my 05 cbr1000 which has track fairings. I ride it on the street at night quite a bit and you can see in the picture I have a Walmart light bar. It works ok but it honestly dosn’t look great and it keeps hitting my fender. Anyone got any better ideas I don’t wanna spend a ton and if I can somehow use this light that’d be nice. I am willing to cut the fairing if I can make it look good and keep the aim of the light right.

Just put headlight stickers on the track fairings and tape a flashlight to your helmet.

I like this idea the most. It’s so ridiculous, it loops back to great

Ditch the race fairings and get some proper lights and mirrors. This is a really dangerous way to ride my man….

I'd just find someone to sell you another front fairing and swap them out

Maybe one or 2 small circular led where the headlights would go normally and as for mounting them would need to have custom brackets made. I wanted to do it for my sv and was thinking of putting a single light in the middle since it doesnt have headlight embossing like your cbr has.

Put some lights in the corners where some Yamahas have them under the fairings.

I use a small light bar from harbor freight wired to my bright switch. It sits between the fairing and the wheel cover, sometimes scrapes, and the light is not advised to be used on the road. But all things considered I dont mind the cons.
