I think the design team was "out to lunch" on the headlights, but those frames are beautiful! LOL, yeah, it may be an acquired taste. My wife loves them. I am neutral. They do not hurt my eyes but I might would prefer twin round lights. But, that said, to be clear, I find them attractive enough, especially when I take them in the context of the whole bike. There are things I do not like on the MT-07, for example, the fake scoops. But, in the whole context, I do not mind them at all and might even agree they look okay. The MT-07 and the Street Triple 675 are a study in contrasts, I think they will make a nice, complimentary pair. The MT-07 is my main squeeze, I plan to continue to upgrade it and get an exhaust system for it. Whereas the only thing I immediately plan for the STR is a FE kit.

robbo10 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Those headlights need fixing to the forks instead of stuck right out on the headstock. It would make a world of difference and get me interested. Just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see it with the flyscreen added if you have it on. I've been interested in this set up for a while now for mine. Curious to see how you like it after using it for a bit. Just curious but what length mounts did you get? Looks like they had 3 different ones available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they had 3 different ones available. Haven't gotten around to fitting the flyscreen yet. The one I have is made for a 7" round headlight and it's going to take some tinkering to get it to work. The headlights low beam is nice and wide but only throws about the same distance as my stock housing with Philips Xtreme Vision bulb, maybe a little further. High beam shoots almost as far as you can see though. Turning is simply amazing. Pitch black back roads with the high beam on, I can see everything as if it were daylight and the lean angle lights still work on high beam. Going around turns is so much more comfortable now. Hopping on my WR250R at night seems like I have a candle for a headlight now haha. I ride a lot at night and this headlight was worth every penny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a portion that needs to be sewed on the back curvature of tha parts you pull up to access the bolts. Didn't add anything to my seat. Its all the stock foam.
