What's good, GSXS family! We FINALLY have the weather we've been praying for, and I hope everyone has been out and taking advantage. I know I have been! Anyway, to my question. I'm always disappointed at the utter lack of sexy aftermarket mods available for our 750s. This bike is truly underloved in this country! Even whilst searching for our UK cousin's version (GSR 750) there is still a complete lack of options. I stumbled upon a very attractive aftermarket headlight assembly for the 2015-2016 GSX-S1000 from the fine folks over at KT Moto ( www.ktmoto.com/fit-for-suzuki-gsx-s1000-2015-led-headlight-assembly/). Now, it does not share the same part # as the assembly for our 750s, so my question isn't "Is this a direct bolt on?" My question is, how complicated do you suppose it would be to replace our stock assembly with this assembly? Would the modifications be minimal, or require custom brackets to be made, etc? The stock s1000 model appears to have different mounting points, so again, just curious if anyone has done it or has any insight into what it would take. Thanks!

If the pictures of the brackets are accurate in that I'd say not so easy. The 15/16 model S750's have two bolts in the top and then it's hinged at the bottom. You'd have to do some creative stuff to get all the mount points to line up properly. Would it not be easier overall to just retrofit the existing headlight? There is loads of guides on how to do that (mostly on cars) but I'm sure there is plenty for bikes specifically even though the concept is the same. I just went the cheap route and get an Auxbeam LED. Plug and play But I'm not very artsy/crafty/fabricatey so these types of projects I steer away from.

you're right. Someone else on the S1000 forum suggested a retrofit as well, and provided me this link on how to do it. I think I'll probably just go this route! Thanks Sp3ak! gsx-s.info/hid-projector-upgrade/

Has anyone done a projector retrofit to an S750 yet? I can't seem to find anything online about it, and the link for the S1000 isn't very helpful because naturally the headlights are entirely different on that bike vs ours. Thanks in advance!
