Can anyone update with any accessories or modification for the head light ???
I don't like the retro look and the head light cover spoils the look ,that's my personal opinion ...
So would like to know if there's option of customizing it

I suspect if you remove the fairing, which I assume is what you are calling the headlight cover, you could install whatever you want for a headlamp. Aftermarket companies make several styles of headlamps of various shapes and sizes.

And yes have a look at attached, fairing is removed and a windshield is attached

You can easily remove the stock fairing and then the decision is yours if you want to ride the bike without fairing or a wind shield or what ever. HD says it is very easy to do

looks pretty cool without the fairing

not sure about the windscreen though. im sure it works but it looks huge

I am big on function so the windscreen is a plus. But if looks is what you favor then leave it off.

 

[fkystreet]

guess it comes down to where you are riding too. if you rarely are on the highway at speeds i guess not having the windscreen is not as big of a deal

I have a removable windscreen (windshield) on my Sportster and I agree.

The only time I really need it is for long road trips 'at speed' where I'd be worn out by the force of the wind after 6-10 hours in the saddle. A short trip is no big deal but after several days of riding 'at speed' the wind resistance of your body will slowly wear you out.

Then again maybe I just became a wimp in my old age as I never needed a windscreen when I was young. LOL

I put a windshield on my Street Rod. It detracts from the bike's appearance, yes, but the bike would not be comfortable to ride on the highway without it. Speeds above 70 mph become tiring without the windshield, while with it I can clip along at 90-100 mph painlessly (unless a Chippie is hiding on the side of the road). From where I live it is eighty miles of open desert to the next something with stores and street lights, so wind and weather protection is essential.

I plan on pulling the fairing and adding a windshield to mine. But I'll probably get an aftermarket shield. Just looked at the HD shield as mounted on the bike and it is way too big and fugly to boot.

Cee Bailey makes very high quality windshields and they look good. They don't sell one specifically for the Street (give them time) but poke around their website and see what they make for Harleys to get an idea of what to expect. Cee Baileys bread and butter are aircraft canopies, and the materials and workmanship of his motorcycle products are up to aviation standards.

I'm planning to remove the fairing around the headlight. Street looks a lot cooler without that.

 

[Testiphony]

I am not a fan of this windshield though. I just don't think that it looks like it belongs on the bike. There have to be some better looking windshields than this.

I think that taking off the headlight covering can make the Street look better though.

It's a little bit large, but not horrible looking. Tell you what, when you are looking at a 600 or 700 mile day in, um, variable weather a windshield like that looks like a beautiful thing. I long ago made my peace with the windshield on my Street Rod.

I always hated any windshield on a bike. But since I have ridden with a sport shield (small size), I won't be removing it any time soon. I still won't install a larger full size windshield, but have also learned to never say never...

I'm a fan of the madstad shields, perhaps a bit unappealing but their function is supreme. Positive pressure system that has airflow on both sides of the shield which will carry the air clean up and over your head. Some aftermarket shields have a tendency to produce a jackhammer effect on your head!

 

[HarleyVest]

Just throwing this out there but would you guys ever consider to make a conversion to dual lamps for the street?

 

[Livin On]

thats an intriguing look there HV...

I wonder, is anyone considering a larger speed screen, perhaps something along the lines of a bikini?

 

[Desert Tortoise]

The old XLCR Café Racer. That's a hairy chested old beast. There are reproduction XLCR fairing available.

I think the Buell Lightning headlight cluster is better looking, especially with the little bug screen.
