Headlight assembly

[SirLightyear]

Hey guys, so I saw this headlight on a Duke 690 and did a poor picture editing job and here's how it would look like on my bike. I really like it but I can't find where I could buy one. Can someone help me?

I'd look on Ebay for one from a breakers, but I suspect if a bike has been crashed hard enough to be written off, the headlamp assembly is probably one of the first things to get splatted.

Having said that, I've had the front end of mine in pieces quite a few times for various reasons, and I can tell you fitting something as different as that and getting all the wiring sorted will be an utter nightmare. The stock headlamp on an MT07 is partly hollow, and contains 6 or 7 major block connectors, with most of the wiring loom running through it.

A few bits pop up here.

Thanks, I was thinking about HID conversion anyway so I would probably still have to go through the wiring process.

HID shouldn't be too much of a problem if you're using the MT07 headlamp - I think a few people here have done it, and I recall seeing a 'how to' somewhere, although I can't guarantee it was on this board.

My doubt is that the unit on the MT07 has so many cables tightly packed inside it that a completely different unit might make it very difficult to get the wires stowed away, and even more importantly, kept dry.

Here you go. Quite a few options and installation tips here:
