Headlight
I got it on ebay, it's an "Acerbis Cyclops" - most acerbis agents will be able to get you one. I spent ages wondering how to mount it and eventually I picked up a secondhand original 1100GS headlight shell and the two plastics that fit on either side of the clocks (£10), modified them, made two "L" shaped brackets for the top section, mounted them to the front clock mounts on the old headlight and bolted the upper mounting brackets of the cyclops onto them. The lower mounting brackets mounted straight onto the two main mounting bolts for the OLD headlight "inside" the old headlight with longer bolts (so, the lights are focused exactly as they used to be, nice and handy). I got some aluminium mesh, cut it to shape and painted it black and fitted it into the 1150 beak to finish it off. Fitting the beak was easier than I had imagined, it only took a little modification, some extra brackets and two 1150 tank rubbers. I mounted an aux power socket on the left of the beak and the led for the autoswitch on the right, in a nice chrome trim.
The above is probably hard to understand, but if you take a few bits off your own one and have a look it'll all come clear.
Should I decide to put it back to standard, it would only take about 30 mins - but i'll be leaving it as it is for the immediate future - it's nice to be able to see where i'm going. It might not be to everyone's taste, but I like it ...
Headlight £50, beak - beak extender and fittings £50 (damaged, from a breakers), paint £15, Autoswitch £10, Hid projectors (with ballasts) £60, bracketry £10, aux power socket £5 - Total £200 - Done and dusted. I'm going to fit hids to the acerbis as soon as I have the spare cash.
