I know Suzuki Bandits and they do NOT come stock with twin headlights on the naked version.

The Bandits have a watered down version of the GSX-R 1100 engine.
Looks like a new tail piece as well.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Well I placed a bid on the windscreen, I hope I win. It'd be nice to finally have something to block the breezes. With any luck it'll warm up enough to install it and give it a test run soon. If I win that is.

Has anyone ever put Buell Lightning headlights on a 599? I think I have seen somebody do it on a 919 before.
