maybe a race fairing with 2 headlights like stated above, thats what it looks like to me

 

OP, that picture of the blue hawk is from Superhawk $299

 

Thanks for the link, that's the one. All ideas and suggestions are still welcome.

 

I like the idea of two HID projectors in the stock housing- You could chop an old housing, and perhaps even mask off two circle on the front lens and paint it to look like the fairing. Then you'd have HID technology as well...

 

I used to do that on my cbr600s back in the day. I would just get some abs plastic, cut it to shape, heat it in an oven and mold it to the shape of the headlight. I guess I lost my taste for double headlights.

 

I've been toying with the ABS idea. Thinking of a Ducati 999 type of look. Also thought about making some accents for the front fairing to make it look a little wider. I've had the SHawk since July 2010, my first sport style bike, and really enjoy it but it has somewhat of a dated look and I think a little work to the front fairing and headlight would change it a lot. I like the Italian styling but the Honda engineering.

 

There it is again!

 

Actually I happen to know of a HID projector that's small enough that it might just barely be feasible to install two of them side by side in the space for the stock housing... Bi-xenon: Morimoto Mini (H1) - HID Projectors from The Retrofit Source Inc

If you are talking about blocking off parts of the stock light, that's a really, really bad idea in terms of actual light output... If you block off parts of the beam in the stock reflector you end up with very little light and doing that with the stock H4 bulb as your lightsource you migth as well ride around with a flashlight as your light... Especially since whatever configuration your choose, vertical or horisontal both blocks the center part, and focal point of the reflector...

If you are talking about making a custom mounting for two small reflectors, it's still going to decrease light as those have more narrow focus and cant give you a good enough distance to have a usefull highbeam...

Putting two projectors in though, HID or not, will give you the looks and light output...

 

I disagree, I dont think the hawk looks dated. Its a classic look. Whenever I tell anyone its a 98 they are shocked.

 

Thanks for info! If I do a modification I’ll definitely go with HID. I’m considering making a fiberglass mold of an OEM headlight then making a carbon fiber replacement insert for the OEM headlight. I’ll probably make a carbon fiber piece to replace the fairing above the headlight also. If anyone has a donor headlight available let me know since I’m not confident that the donor will survive the process in a usable condition. As far as the “dated look” reference, don’t get me wrong, I really think the SHawk has a good look, there are just a few styling points that I think can be improved to get a balance of classic and modern. Again, thanks for your comments.
