Headlight conversion...

I know how the bug-eye lights are iconic and instantly recognizable as a triple, but ... I was thinking of hooliganizing my bike to something like this ... Plus I would get a little more wind protection at highway speeds

I checked around the intraweb, haven't seen any Triple-to-Buell conversions... is that because it can't be done easily? The gauges too big?

Your links don't work

Welcome to TriumphRat.net however - please visit the newbie thread and also revisit your UserCP and enter your bike year/model under favourite bike, as well as your location.
Both these will provide useful identifiers, appearing in the left margin under your screen-name.

Thumbs down

Looks like a WWI era gas mask!

But pay no attention to me, I'm a huge fan of the bug eyes. Lot's of people really like to change that look.

I thought the same thing... Gumby in a gas mask!
Looks ominous in black.
