Would it work on a 919?

Yes, but good luck driving at night

I liked the look of those and bought one to see if it could be adapted to the niner. Very cheap plastic. It looked like it was off of a kid's toy. Very low wattage bulbs. I never hooked it up but I doubt it puts out much light. IMO don't waste your money.

Luckily I ended up getting it for free. It never showed up after about 6 weeks, so the seller gave me a refund. It showed up about a month later. After looking it over it went in the trash.

That's what I needed to know! Do you know of a quality headlight of a similar style that would work?

you asked...I think they look dump and would guess that its a piece of crap...have no first hand experience on it being crap......but my highly trained good eye says ugly

I think your best bet if to find a headlight that you like on another bike and adapt it to the 9'er. That one is definitely not built for a motorcycle. Someone posted here a couple of days ago about putting a V-Rod headlight on the 9'er.

Good luck!

if you like that style, maybe look into this hid setup

if you want your 919 to look like the bastard love child of a nighthawk and a gixxer
