True. Cost of Buell headlight: $149. Cost of Ducati headlight: $310 Guess what we do when a Monster needs a headlight. Danny 95 S2 02 V-Strom PT P&S; MD&B, at least for three more weeks. |

It is also the same as a early 80's (?) BMW. True story, we found that the headlight company would only run this lamp once a year because of the large size. We ended up buying all the headlamps in BMW's North American warehouse. This is when I realized just how much support there was for Buell in the US biker community.

Actually, most of the Duc riders, especially Monster drivers, rely on the DML(Ducati Monster List) to exchange information the same we do here on BadWeb! Only the most well-healed Ducatisti buy such things as headlights from the dealers. Good ol' entrepeneurship hard at work in America! |

There is one advantage to be had from the Monster headlight bucket. You can buy it from Ducati Performance in carbon fiber. About £120 in England. Rocket |

I recall reading that you can buy only the lens from BMW if thats all you need. |

You can buy the lens cheaper from a Bosch dealer. After all, they manufacture it. Quote the number on the glass. Rocket |
