Need help on deciding which headlight to go with... - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Hey Guys,

I've decided that my winter project will be converting my bike into a streetfighter. I have an 04 Silver/Black FZ6:

Which type/style do you guys think looks/functions the best. I'm leaning towards the dual setup below, but any opinions would be appreciated thanks.

Thanks,
Nick

Thats the set up i was originally thinking about, until i saw all the mini fairings on the market then that got me thinking and searching which one would look good and still give me excellent light output, thats when i came across the one i have now and am i glad i chose it, the lights kick arse! GOOD LUCK your gonna need it in choosing which set up to go with!

In my opinion, the dual setup reminds me of British bikes. Where the mini fairing reminds me more of customs. Either way, you're going naked with an FZ6. Thus, there is no wrong answer. Good luck and keep us posted.

Not sure about the cost, but you could try to find an Aprilla Shiver 750 headlight, I saw one over the weekend and it is a dead sexy bike, and if i ever do the naked conversion i would take the light from one of these:

Dodge makes a nice dual headlight setup! Some assembly required.

Seriously, the duals in your pictures look good. I would suggest adding a flyscreen above them to cover up the back of the instrument panel and wiring. It'll give the bike a more finished look.

Yeh the double lights look smick. I'd go with them, but would put something behind instrument panel to neaten it all up.
