Gitzy's R1 - New Headlight - Opinions Please Lads

[Gitzy]

Because I value all your opinions so much what do you's think of my new headlight.. Ignore rednessness of it and the awesome cable tie brackets.. I personally think it should be tilted down a little.. what do you reckon? cheers.. :D

Looks good?
Looks no so good?
Up?
Down?
Tilt?

tilt it till the lines on it match the lines of your tank mate and it will look great

[Tony OW31]

looks real good front on, don't even mind the colour.

[robmac]

Angle it down at the front slightly and drop it about 30mm.

[RevHead]

thats fuckin nice,,. wots it off

[Gitzy]

Its a chinesy easy Job Pete, one of thems mass produced fighter headlights.. I normally don't like them but this one got my attention and I really like it..

[stu]

Looks great mate, tilt it down a little and a little lower I reckon.

[Shadowzone]

Not so sure about the pink, but otherwise it looks the goods mate

x2

But I liked your twin headlights more to be honest mate.

[nick76]

It must be the lastest release chinese lights.
I've only recently seen them popping up on eBay.
I like the look of them.

[Gitzy]

Heey yeah it does look a little pink..

I think the Rods are right about lines def..

And I am a definite fan of my twins, But I'll give this a crack at mounting and myaybe paint it black for time being and see how I like it.. its rather cheaply made and you can tell.. Its not a bad put together unit and I have seen worse though.

Im with Master Blaster, that with a tweek would look ace.
Honda?

[Fight_fan]

Yeh mate, goin with the general consensus on this one too... Looks shit hot tho!

[Bob]

Looks good mate

[Gix11]

I see you lost the hugger at last, looks better already. down , tilt etc etc....

(twin round headlights were cool 20 years ago, not any more....)

[Fight_fan]

Can you ploz paint those wheels when u do the rest of the body work Gitz? That goldy colour has the gaids hardcore!

[Gitzy]

I'll start making bracketry on the weekend me thinks, and maybe pull it apart and give some black treatment..

:( My hardcore gaid wheels were starting to grow on me Lance.. But your right not the best colour, I was going to get them powdered when I had bike apart but they were in such good nick with barely a mark on them and well I think I was bit lazy.. but definate when I get new tyres.. prob after NFR..

[wackyrider]

Tilt and lower as the others said. But it looks good

[scotty mac]

looks sweet, i agree the the others.
the only other mod i'd do is put a suzuki behind it.;)[:I]

[2ndclasscitizen]

You gotta link for these Gitzy? I reckon that'd look pretty good on my Gixxer.

[Gitzy]

Her you go Mitch, linky linky.. but read bellllllloow first..

[Gitzy]

On second thoughts... I have changeded my mind yet again and I'm stickin with the dominators for now...

Did you want mine Mitch?? I think there $100ish with the Oz dollar at the moment, $85 squid and I'll post this one to you monday if you want mate.. only fitted as per photos above with 2 awesome cable ties which I could throw in with it.. lol.. plus you wouldnt have to wait the 14 days I did..

[NoZ]

I was gonna say lower a bit but you've taken it off lol

[crazymofo]

i just bought 2 of them lol... one for me, one for the missus.

gutting them to put decent projector lights in tho.

cheers.joe.

[Gitzy]

Thats a good idea Joe..

[Fight_fan]

What? Over it already? Jeez Todd, ur a hard man to please! R u gonna jst stick with the dominators or are u still on the market for somethin better?

[Gitzy]

Lol, yup I'm a picky one mate.. I'll stick with domies for now until I find something I really really like, maybe germanish.. I still love them Showyomoto Ones too, but $500+ is not in the budgeto at the mo..

[Fight_fan]

Yeh i'l b heading down the ShoyoMoto route when I get back from overseas. Its a shit loada scrilla but I love em! Might be an early chrissy present to myself I think! :D

[Jockney Rebel]

i reckoon its shite and you should therefore donate it to the jimmy walker streefighter fund lol

Would I be able to use the mounts for my Dominators for it?

[Gitzy]

If 2ndclasscitizen doesn't want it did you want second dibs Jim?

[Gitzy]

How did that happen, I swear Jims was the last post.. anyhoo..

heres my awesome drawing but, I'll go and take a photo for you in the morning if you want... but it prob would have fit my dom headlight mounts
with a washery type thing (in red) between headlight bolt holes and the brackets.. make sense??

[2ndclasscitizen]

Could you measure the distance between the mounting holes? And also how high up the holes are so I can work out if it'll clear the steering damper.

[Gitzy]

yup yup.. give me 5 mins.. hows that.. :D
