| | Posted : 13 May 2012 - 21:20 Post title : Headlight Diameter | | | Hello
Has any one upgraded their headlamps to a larger one. The current single Bird headlight diameter is about 6 1/4".
Does anyone know the Speedmaster or Rocket 3 Tourer headlight diameters?
I was considering going with a aftermarket type, I have found them as big as 7" in diameter. The only thing is they mount with one bolt vs 2 like Bird stock mount. See below.
Has anyone gone this route?
Thanks
John

It looks much better!
Would you happen to know what year Speedy light it is, the diameter accross the housing?
Was it difficult to connect, plug and play or did you splice it in?
Thanks

for the last 12 months or so the speedy has come with the bird headlight, so be careful when ordering. you want an earlier version.

8'' diam and sits a bit further back. Looks miles better. Easy to fit. If you order 2010 or before it will be the right one.

This is the 2010 Speedy parts diagram from bike bandit
Looks like I need to order assemblies 8 and 1, it appears to come with a new mount on bottom (#9).
The strange thing is item #1 shows 3 options?!! Total looks about $347.07 USD if I go Triumph OEM parts.
I may quote from local dealer as well as another online dealer, suggestions on a good one.
