Default Can you change the frontlight easily?

I like the look of the 04-06 Honda CBR 125. But I don't like how slow they are, I do like the speed of the CBX 250. And I can't afford a CBR 250RR.

So basically I want to put the body of a CBR 125 on a CBX, if not possible at least go and put on a E-Storm headlight on a CBX 250 and respray that so it matches.

I don't have any experience with any of those bikes, so take this with a grain of salt.

I would think the cbr conversion would be a bit hard. Its probaby a bit wider, and the very least, the gas tanks would probably not line up well. If you look, the cbr's bottom of the tank is at quite an angle, while your bike's tank is much more horizontal. the farings would not work well. Thats not to say you couldn't make it work with some brackets, but you would have to measure everything out first.

The easiest looks to be the E-storm. It looks like it could be just a simple bolt on. But I couldn't say for sure.

One thing to consider though, you may want to look for a universal headlight fairing. It may be easier and cheaper to make one of those work for your application.

Something like this:
