Save your money and start a "bigger bike" fund. Its a waste of time and money modifying your 250...... its a Hyosung ffs <_<

Thats what happens when you buy a budget bike, you start thinking that 'normal' prices are 'overpriced'. Check on ebay or contact another Buell dealer. A guy in Wellington (can't believe I've forgotten his screen name!) did a Buell twin-light conversion on his CB919 and from memory it was quite affordable.

Dont remember when Sean last came on KB. He bought it new through Wellington Motorcycles, so just ring them for a price.

Check local Motorcycle wreckers. They are bound to have a twin headlight set-up of a Jap bike or similar. May not have exactly the look of the Buell set-up but probably a lot cheaper. years ago I bought a twin Headlight set for about $70 with the aim of fitting to my XJ650 project bike. Still haven't done it.

Buell parts are the cheapest I've ever heard of. Set of indicators are $20 for the factory items.

Price them up first, then look for a hori alternative.

Piece of piss, if you can solder and have some heat shrink.
