If you were willing to spend the cash, you could easily get a streetfighter front headlight kit that holds the gauges...but that will cost money as well.... I still think you should take that bracket to a metal shop...get it fixed and straightened. Then mount any ole light in the front fairing... that way it will have the fairings with 2 big holes where the headlights were...
Streetfighter R1?
so i'm thinking of somehow making my r1 into a temporary, street legal streetfighter. i don't have the money right now for a new headlight/bracket/fairings, so she's definately going to be naked for a while. my main problems at the moment are 1) how do i mount the computer? 2) what are my options with headlights? 3) what am i going to do about front turn signals? and 4) how am i going to conceal the wiring?
i think i'm just going to write off my twisted fairing bracket in the front, so that can be hacked away on. i'm trying to think of how to incorporate a round headlight into the front. i suppose there must be someway to fabricate a bracket that can mount to the existing fairing bracket. i will keep that bracket to mount the computer on i think, even though it's twisted, cutting off the rear-mirror mount "ears". i'm just kinda at a loss right now for ideas.... anybody done this sort of mod before?

Just mount a piece of alum strapping or somin to connect that... it won't look good but at least you'll get it on... Or bust out some fiberglass and get a huffin high!
Oh and fix it with the fiberglass as well!

See even that... I really think a little fiberglass will get it good!
Oh yeah I would just carefully search on EBay like everyday and you'll find it for cheap!!
Ya even if you had to sport a multi colored bike till you could get it painted...it would still be good solid un cracked plastics.
Yeah good call... check that out! Buy them and just cut out some lights!jeeps84 said:check out this thread. It may help.
