So recently I was looking at the headlight on my shadow aero and realized that the headlight off my dad's vtx would look amazing. Since he had moved away from the stock front end on his '06 vtx and added a hondaline faring to his bike and was not using his headlight bucket I decided to do a comparison. It turns out that with smallish spacers between the stock vtx headlight mount and the light-bar, and triple tree on the shadow this is a straight up bolt on replacement. In addition I put in an led bulb to the stock headlight. After doing this I have to say not only does it have a way better light pattern and visibility, but it looks absolutely stunning. The swooping headlight bucket fits so much better with the fenders on the aero and honda totally missed out on this as a stock set up.

Nice pics! 😎

 

A lot of folks put VTX headlight on...
There was a thread on it,

Does look at home on the Aero.

 

Very popular on VT1100's back in 09' but as the 1100 line ceased so did this conversion. The scale isn't quite right to me but with the "black ring"(?) it helps but if it was stock chrome variant, definitely the scale would appear different. Here's a search:

I wouldn't mind a larger headlight.
