Yeah maybe I need to get used to it more or see it from different angles, but it looks oversized on that bike imo. It does make the FZ look like it's from the 70's though, so if retro is the look you were after you got it!
I wonder why they call this a cafe racer headlight?
Need more pics
At the moment the light is sitting "up" a little, and it needs to be angled down a bit more, but i was having issue's with the back of the bottom of the 2 headlights, hitting the front of the ignition barrel...i can fix this, it is just a very small modification to the mounting hardware for the light, which i will get to today, or tomorrow, when i put on the clip-on bars....
and yes, i am going for a pseudo-retro look, reminiscent ofthe cafe racers of the 60's, but with a 21st century modern look....i think it achieves that!
The European's like to call bikes like this "Cafe Fighters", there is in fact a whole section of the European Streetfighters Forum dedicated to "Cafe Fighters" - modern naked bikes, with clip-on handle bars, and in a lot of cases, small bikini headlight fairing's....so you can get in behind them when in a "tuck' at high speed...
As for it looking big...my missus reckons it looks small! i think it's proportions are perfect....width wise, it deflects the air around my body, and in a tuck, over my helmet...height wise...the bottom of the headlight sits exactly where thebottom of the OEM headlight sat, and height wise, it is lower than the OEM FZ6N screen that Yamaha sell...
