Can everyone with a late model S3 or a conversion with a single headlight please post pics? I can't get over the urge to switch out the headlight. Thanks in advance!

Mine isn't late model but if you decide to go that way I can show you a cheap way to make a mounting kit if you want to save some $$$$. I made these for $10

Wow that homemade headlight looks great meanchuck. However you will then have to make a bracket to hold up the speedo.

Yep, if I need it I build it! The forks that I am using had the gauge mount on it and it should work as a template for the gauge set up that I am going to run.

I did see a picture someone had here that still had the two headlights but they were tucked in real nice. It looked like there was nice bracket that held them closer to the fork tubes, similar to one for the single from newspeed.com. Looked real good. Any thoughts?

It's the stock headlight for that bike, a 1998 TBS. The forks are 1992 GSXR750 so whatever bracket I make will not work on your forks. I meant if you decided to put your own kit together I could show you a cheap alternative to the $160 headlight brackets that they sell.

Thats what i meant, i want details on how to make my own mounts if I find a used triumph headlight. for example, where did you get the clamps and the CF bits?
