It's blasphemy, I know, but for some reason I keep picturing a standard Harley V-Rod headlight pulled in nice and tight to the fork.... 

There is nothing blasphemous about using the V-Rod headlight.  The HD barrier has been broken.  It has been used before on custom Ducatis.

Precisely the headlight I was thinking of....  Well, starting with at least.  May change my mind after seeing it on the bike in daylight.

I think it looks bad ass.  For a superbike sans plastics it looks very clean.  The lines are very consistent with the 1098/1198.  the angle of the headlight and mini fairing are in direct line with the tank.   I'd have to photoshop it to confirm but i'd bet the headlight is in the same position as the headlights on the 1098/1198 and that might be for an engineering reason.  The exhaust is also the best looking stock exhaust I've seen in a long time on a naked bike.

The MSRP for a new one is high but I'll be searching the want ads next summer/fall that's for sure.

Add some CRG's and lose the mirrors and I'd be very happy and all set for the Tenn/NC mountains.

I'm with you cowboy this bike is badass to the bone!  I'm gettin one!!!!

Did it look like the pillion pegs bolted to the pipes on the right side?
Couldn't quite catch it exactly?

Yes. Need a new exhaust system to remove passenger footpeg

[kopfjäger]

Needs a new exhaust system, period.

Ooooooohhhh, now we're getting somewhere!  Maybe try a 696 or Brutale headlight?

I'm hoping they have it at the cycleworld shows coming up over the next few months, I'll be going to the one South Carolina even tho 4 hour drive.

Tho I put a deposit down due to an injury I really need to sit on it to make sure it's ok for me. I bought an aprlia shiver a few months ago, and sold it two months later at a nice big loss because I couldn't sit on it. Don't want to do that again. Good thing is my dealer will have an S model demo which I'll be able to ride.

Hi, my name is Robert, and you suck at photoshop.

Here is the 696 Light assembly.

Yikes , that angle just does not work for that headlight!

Why would you ruin that nice photochop with such a horrid suggestion?         
Don't post when you're drunk.
