Hi all ,
I am new to this site although i had my X1 Lightning from new in 2000 . Done lots to it over the years , custom paint ,delugged bits , chromed and polished everthing I could , uprated suspension (from S3) stage 2 tune , custom exhaust , getting boring now so I wont continue the list
We do lots of riding , mainly europe ( not on the buell although we have done Normandy on it - not as bad as you think it might be , except for the wife on the back who had to carry the rucksack !) for which we have a bmw1200lt , yep the big one !
Been riding continuously since the 70s (old fart) with numerous bikes from
X7s to VFR750 (the plastic cams one!) to XS1100 to Z1300s to ZZR1100 and so on , but I can honestly say that I have more fun on the Buell than on any of the others .
Do any members live down here in the Kent area to meet up for a ride out ?
Any way enough of my drivelling , or do I mean dribbling , I have a question
Has any member fitted the twin headlight conversion from Trojan Horse ? they sell these with the fork clamps (seperate buy) but these clamps dont have the fairing brackets, also the headlights , being a pair would leave a large gap at the bottom of the fairing . Is there enough room to recut the bottom of fairing to fit around the new headlights ? how do you remount the fairing the the non existing brackets on the new clamps - or do I reuse existing clamps with the brackets ?
I can frabricate something but wanted to get any help first .
Thanks for any help .

Hi Jeff welcome to the club
DO NOT fit poxy twin candle 'lamps' to a proper Buell .....the standard searchlight not only works but it looks right on the bike.......save your hard earned and continue to enjoy proper lighting that the XB brigade can only dream of 
I believe you though, Ash. I also state that I am quite happy with my XB lights. In fact Tony (Deepsix) once asked me if my headlights had been modified as they were so bright.... As far as I know, they are original, but he obviously thought they were brighter than the average XB....Boo Boo...
