I like it. You could go with generic automotive fog lights. Heres a set for only $25 bucks.

 But also a side note is you might get crap if your state requires inspections...

Yeah... fun times for sure. Though, I never was sure what we were suppose to do if we had to pee.  I'm glad I never had the "urge" to have to find out.  ;D

I say you find the headlights you want to use and then have Franken build a plastic gas mask for them. He could sell a lot to those "street fighters" guys.


Street fighter? In my experience with those guys, the street has always won.  or telephone pole.

when I Purchased my first bike last October('91 GS500) I came across this idea and really got involved with it. Bought the mask and almost bought the lens too. (until I came across my '96 900ss and couldn't pass on the deal, so I sold my GS500)

One and VERY IMPORTANT thing I learned on my re-search and I think you should also take in consideration... (these are threads I read from people who had actually done this project to their bikes.)

**DON'T BE CHEAP ABOUT THE LIGHTS.... (The cheap ones will get condensation in them, meaning water will start to show inside them.)**

Here's what I was going to invest if I did go forward with the Idea. It's not expensive and it will hold up against any weather...

If you type 'Projector Fog Lights' on ebay it will show up.

also, this video made me crave it even more...


dont mind the douche bag in the video. (idk who he is)

 :P.

let me know what you think.
