2009 Interceptor 800 Front Headlight & Fairing

Hello everyone,

I've stumbled upon the aforementioned bike and I like a lot of what I see and hear. The bike is meant for a more relaxed ride and that is what I'm looking for right now.

A quick question though. We are all a little vain, and I think the bike is absolutely gorgeous, minus one thing. The front headlight and fairing! There is just something about those bug eyes that I can get over.

Now I know I'm asking in the wrong area, as you guys are most likely lovers of this machine, but has anyone heard about a conversion of sorts (with some work) to something like the new 600f headlight or something? Anything, really.

Thanks.

Felt the same way aboot it when they came oot. It grows on you in time.....RWB paint helps as well.

 

Yeah, I'm biased I do kinda like my front end, and the rear for that matter too. You could allways experiment with some vinyl to cover up/reshape the lights maybe?? In any case :welcome: and

 

Wow REALLY, I think that set of head lights make the bike perfect . take it out for a ride and you'll see thats the last thing you'll think about . It like a beautiful woman with brains , money , body but she has a big nose - Deal with it MANNNNNNNNNN

 

Well I appreciate the nonflaming, very surprised at that.

I know that there is no chance those headlights will grow on me. I'm simply not a fan (unfortunately!)

Maybe I will wait a couple more years and see if they ever continue the model with a new look?

I also saw another bike that is KIND of similiar, in the sense that I'm looking for a more comfortable, but still sporty, ride. The 2011 Triumph Sprint St is an absolute beauty. I've seen pretty good reviews and it's in the relatively same price point as the 'ceptor. Anyone have any feedback at all as far as that goes?

Thanks again guys.

 

Why would we talk you into a Sprint?? This is a VFR forum. ;-)

 

I heard the sprint shuts down and self compresses it forks (bow) whenever a interceptor passes
