Hey everyone, i'm thinking of changing over to some dual Buell headlights and adding a Buell
windscreen this winter. I was just wondering if you think it'd be quite easy to swap over.

A lot people on SV650 boards have made the switch and I like
the look but I've never seen it on a CB400SF.

Here it is on an SV

I wonder if the CB400 gauges might get in the way of the flyscreen.



What do you think?

Hey, are those the dominator headlights?

I was wondering if you used the stock brackets or if you had to get some fabricated?

Looks nice!!!
But it would be better with polished aluminium bottom traverse.

Personally I think the Suzuki looks boss, the anodised black jobbies are the way to go, gotta lose the horns off the front as well. Some nice billet yokes s'd be good also.

That SV looks so trick because of the seriously nice forks. Not sure it would look so good with stock ones.

did you have to stick a relay in the headlight wiring system to cope with the extra current drawn?im thinking of doing the same but am worried about my reg/rec.cheers

If you want both bulbs at the same time / you need a relay, or you will melt the wiring or the handlebar switch.

thanks 4 the answer.if you changed the 60/55 bulbs 4 say 35 watt so the combined wattage would be only 15 watts over the original,do you think the fuse and wiring would cope?cheers

Check the ratings, but inadvisable for two reasons:
1. Your headlights'll be pish poor
2. If you get it wrong your wiring will melt

Do it properly fit a relay and appropriate wiring
