hi all -

i have this CB550F2



on which I'd love to fit a bigger (in diameter) front light, not for anything useful (lighting is just fine as it is) but as a customisation, for the looks  8)

any suggestion on what to buy/use?

grazie!  ;D

wow

that's the looks I was after, indeed (not the dropped handlebar though)

no specific reasons, just want to try out some kind of new look, without going full kustom mode...  ;D

Some Yamaha's had big ones (onecylinder 500?) At least they looked bigger.
F2? So you've mounted those harmonicarubbers yourself?

I bought a used harley davidson fat boy light a couple years back for $30.  Talk about a big chrome piece of extreme illumination.  I was replacing the yucky little sportster light on my dyna to fit a batwing fairing.  Stock 750 looks huge though when everything is removed around it.
