when i had my ss i didnt really like the mk 4 cortina headlight at all but after looking for and at the alternatives i never changed it.. now i really miss the big square eyed bastard.....
I commend you for trying. The only reason I went for an IE is because I like the nose of the carby one less than I like the fairing on the IE. Both bikes have styling issues to me but the nose on the carby is a bit numpty.....haha cue the impending abuse....
cant see how as the models ran parallel for a good few years! then the ie came out... end of the ss ... lol im being a bit harsh here! i personally prefer the carby shape but not out to diss any ones ride or own preference (the ie is a bit meh though)
Don't worry about them Rob, haters gotta hate; me, I love it. I reckon bar end mirrors would look good with it though, lowering the profile.
