Twin ( dual ) headlight fairing

Are there any dual headlight fairings available for the XT600? Looking at buying a 1993 model.

Are you wanting an original Yamaha Fairing or an aftermarket type ?

If there were a stock one, that would be great. Aftermarket would be worth checking out.

I saw this at a recent bike show SIDE - Simpson Detour not pretty but much better then most after market headlights.
Most after market head light fairings attach to the front forks, on my XT600 3AJ the headlight fairing would hit the tank when you turn the handle bars.
You should also check the wattage of the bulbs is not higher then the oringal as this can be a problem with keeping the battery charged.

Are you saying the Simpons Detour would not work on the XT600. I've been looking at a 1993 XT600E.

If you are in the USA, check out Wild Hair Accessories for their line of imported (and expensive) aftermarket fairings:
