My 14 09

You won't be sorry, they are a phenomenal bit of kit but (and this is only my opinion) you are going to take away the identity of the bike by losing that front lamp assembly. Why not purchase the bike and see if it grows on you.

I'm not having a pop at you personally here, but why do people think they can better the design of huge companies like Yamaha after them spending millions on design and R&D to then stick some scooter lamp assembly or some other hideous lamp assy and then complain about lack of light! You can't even see it when you're sat on the bike riding it down the street.

I know GR1127 of this very parish has fitted the R1 tail (which incidentally was designed by Yamaha for this very frame) and yeah, it does look amazing (again in my opinion) but generally bikes with different front lights fitted from standard always look unfinished, but hey, it'll be your bike and your decision.

Me personally, the front end was one of the reasons I purchased the bike as it was SO different and I dislike the tail more than the lamps.

Enjoy!

I'm the third person that originally disliked the headlight, but at least in my black bike, it looked awesome when I saw it in person. It goes with the bike perfectly, something you catch on when seen in person. It's modern and aggressive, but not overdone or out of place. Just wish both low and high beam were functional on both units, for better visibility and light output at night, but since I rarely ride at night, not a big deal to me. And that micro fairing is enough to accomplish exactly what I wanted: clean wind, but a bit of protection to enable 80/85 cruising without fatigue, and I got exactly that. Haven't seen another such bike in the few months I've owned it, so quite unique. Go for it man .
