Front fairing/headlight
I've got a "Travelon" 150cc dual-sport. trying to help out the "look" of the bike.
Ordered a new front fender, universal, should look lots better. My question, what have you guys done for the front fairing/headlight? That thing is ugly, I want to replace it with something different, any suggestions? Any other chinese styles bolt on? Thanks ![]() |

Welcome to the forum!
I used an Acerbis DOT headlight/fairing in the past with great results.

Any pictures?
I also plan on adding a few performance parts to the bike (I got it for $10, so I figure if I dump $500 into it I'll still come out on top ![]() Unfortunately, its a 162FMJ, not very many performance parts available. Anybody know where to get replacement plastics? I wouldnt mind having the farings that the previous owner removed |

Motorcycle Superstore, Dennis Kirk, and Bike Bandit would be good places to look. Look for UFO, Maier, and Acerbis.

That front fender is awesome!!!
I bought a "Polisport Halo H4 Headlight"(a quick google search will show you what they look like), they are in the $60-$80 range but alot more compact and would probably look good on your bike. $10? Wow, does it run? Man, I wish I could find deals like that! |

Runs like a champ, had 250 miles on it. Didnt get ridden hardly ever, backed into it with the trailer and the rear fender shattered, owner got pissed and wanted it gone, so I took it off his hands

Welcome rusche!
I see that your bike has signal lights; do you plan to run it on the road? If so, beware that several of the China headlights aren't DOT. Andrew, is your new light DOT? If so, that's a smokin' deal.

To Be honest I don't Know - However it Just Passed PA Inspection so no worries. I don't think our police in the area are going to be looking for that much detail anyway.....LOL

Welcome to these forums, Rusche; we are glad you joined us!
![]() ![]() I think a standard, H4 headlight works quite well, especially for small motorcycles that don't reach high speeds. ![]() ![]() After doing much research, I decided to purchase a Baja Designs headlight for my XR650L. I mounted the headlight this afternoon, and took a test ride this evening. I am pleased to report this 55W/60W, H4 headlight does a very good job illuminating the road. ![]() https://www.bajadesigns.com/NET/P-60...+Baja+D%2c+Red Spud ![]()

It was cloudy today, but I managed to take a ride before the rain arrived. Here is a photograph of my recently installed, Baja Designs headlight.
![]() ![]() This headlight is rugged, and easy to install. Best of all, this headlight does a very good job illuminating the road ahead. ![]() Spud ![]()

Very sharp looking light, Spud! Looks better than stock, color match looks exact too!
