Headlight Recommendation
« on: 05 April 2017, 02:05:05 pm »
Thinking of removing the fairings from my 01 Fazer... previous owner did an awful job with some projectors and i think the bike looks better without the fairings anyway...


Anyhow what i need is a Recommendation of a single headlight unit to buy? i don't have 100's to spend i just want a nice looking single round headlight with a beam pattern legal in the UK...Ebay is awful for Chinese aftermarket shit now which to be honest i would buy but none have an answer for me on beam patterns they all say they have no clue which is annoying why sell something you've no f**king clue about...


Thanks for any Recommendations guys i couldn't really find anything on the forum about it.


P.S ... i mean this looks ok and would solve the having to mount the indicators problem but the beam pattern is probably everywhere on them. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331962801210?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I checked the MOT pass and it has nothing about indicator spacing only that they must emit orange light and flash between 60-120 times per minute ive also looked for anything on laws with indicators and i cant find anything about being too close together.


Im not saying youre wrong but can you prove it to me? as i cant find anything about it is all. cheers for the info if it is infact 100% legit.


EDIT: i actually found the legislation and they should be fine... unless im misunderstanding it
