    Love my new Headlight -- Thanks Road Clam!!

    Thanks to Road Clam, my bike now has the correct 8" round headlight....
    Much improved over the square Yamaha light it had...

    Took this picture after getting home from my first ride to work day....

    Oh yeah! That's looks more natural (see mine in my sig).

    I want your seat!

      That looks much better! If you haven't already, stick a SilverStar bulb in there...you'll be impressed!

              Probably...might need new mounting ears...
              The problem will be finding one...you don't see them for sale very often.
              I got lucky....

              Ah Good!

              Actually it is a nice seat. Don't know who made it, but it looks good. Has one small tear on a rear corner...

                Aw shucks. Sounds like you'll be getting a new seat, soon. When you do, I'll supply my adress for that one. LOL!

                How comfortable is it? It looks like the seat foam might be a bit thin. I think I've seen Corbin seats like that.

                  I find it very comfortable, but I haven't been on it for a long ride yet and I've never sat on a stock seat...
                  I like it because I'm only about 5'7" and I can put my feet on the ground easily....

                    Ah....I'm 6'3". So the stock seat might be a better height for me.

                        Yeah, I have the same problem....I'm 6'3" too and while I love the look and feel of a cutdown seat.....I really don't want to be any lower to the ground than I already am sitting on the stock seat.....bummer....

                          That light looks like it belongs on a freight train.

                              what model yammy was the square one off and what are the dimensions.

                              might look good on my 1150


                              never understood why the 1150 had loads of square angular lines to the body work and then they fitted the round search light .....just daft .
