don't know many of mods for the new Gen headlight though...don't recall if anyone did anything with it.

I have seen people changing to new Gen headlight to the older style one, or go with dual headlight, but other than that, what are you looking for?
2001 Supersport 900 Yellow!!! (she's just so much fun)
2000 Monster 750 Carb Dark!!! (Sold and still full of regrets)

I built new brackets that made the stock headlight look waaaay bulky.  This is off an old Suzuki GS.  The chrome was demolished so I had it sand blasted and powdercoated it myself.  Sorry for the crappy cell pic.

Here's a couple at a little higher rez.  It's still a cell phone though, and the flash picks up weird shadows and dust.



You can see the damage in the metal here on the headlight ring.  I pounded the dent out with a small ball peen hammer and I thought the powder would fill it enough, but it still showed through a little.  Not too bad though for a 30 something year old hunk of metal.




Don't judge me :).  This was after having been garaged for two+ months and mocked up when I got my forks back from traxxion.  She's a little tidier now.

Don't know anything about it, but I saw a Harley at the gas station that had what looked like a standard 7-8 in headlight.  Looking closer though, the internals were projector or HID.  It kept the classic look, but I would expect much better performance.

Yeah I was thinking of going dual headlight , or maybe even getting some colour in there
