Smaller headlight

Post by ducapaso »

The very firs thing I must say is:
ANYTHING IS REVERSIBLE TO STANDARD!
Now I can tell you what I'm in order to do:
I alwais thought that Paso headlight is Too big, too flat and too heavy, so when I happened to buy one from some Aprilia model, that is lighter, smaller and more round for a very good price, I started thinking about a project: lighter headlight, lighter dashboard, alluminium auxiliary frame.
Here's a touch-up I made by pc to show the idea, it might be the good time to do a complete wrapping of the bodywork. What do you think about?

Looks Great,

I have two 750 Paso's, on one the front fairing is cracked, I have been thinking of a complete front fairing replacement using a smaller headlight, the new fairing would come from AirTech without a headlight cut out.

Could you provide additional details on the headlight and mounting?

Best,

the large headlight is one of the parts that makes a Paso a Paso.
There have been many attempts to change headlights or instrument panels and I all collect them in the Aiming for apex forum. :)
I still wonder why noone yet tried to install a RSV Mille instrument panel.

Maybe RSV mille instrument panel is a bit uncheap? :)
I can't remember where Gilera used such headlight but it should be the same of Guzzi V11 sport corsa but I mean to hide both sides to mahe it look rectangular. it's really LIGHTER than the original one. Image
