Hi guys I was just browsing through my usual lists of motorcycle blogs and I found this beautiful MV Agusta cafe. I particularly liked the fairings and also the headlight stood out.

So i did some research and I found this!

I believe this will fit. I'm thinking it will fit because it's a standard 7" round time headlight unit... But I'm not sure. Does anyone want to confirm this with some measurements? I'm out of the country and I am not with my bike right now.

Hmm, that price is for two - so they are $53 a pop... interesting.
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

Yeah it looks pretty good. Plus it's from Newegg and not some weird Alibaba grey market site. If the size and the fitment will fit the housing I'm all in... cuz it looked pretty badass on the MV.

Yeah it says it's legal in the description. I don't see why it wouldn't be legal  :-\

Things like this are exactly why I wish MotoWheels sold their kit without a lens and reflector.

Their kit comes with the lens, reflector and the adapter ring. I just want an adapter ring, but not for $180.

ah, gotcha.  i just bought that setup a few weeks ago and installed and, of course, that it the only other part.  can you call matt at motowheels and ask if they'd sell you just the ring?  they're pretty cool guys . . .

I emailed them when they were offering the discount in the other thread, but never heard back. I'm in a mental loop trying to decide if I keep, and therefore continue to mod, my bike... so it fell off my radar. Then threads like this with new gadgets pop up and give me more ideas.

this is pretty cheap especially if you share the price with someone since we only need one headlight  ;D

I'm just concerned of the fitment... i wonder if it will fit in the stock headlight bucket...

Well, it'd be more comforting if the linked manufacturer website was more than a blank white page.

The bulb is a "Xenon HID-look", so I'm guessing this means its a coated halogen bulb, not a true HID lamp.
