Just have to fab a bracket. Think it will look great.

Pretty cool headlight, does it mount on a stud off the bottom?

Yes it does. I am going to make a bracket that will mount to the lower triple tree where the juction for the brake lines goes. Should also serve to hide the juction a bit

Sounds good. Are you planning a custom wiring setup?

I guess I am going to have to custom wire this bike. It will be bare bones ideally. Probably use some of the factory harness to make it happen. Not really sure yet. Been actively avoiding thinking about it too much as that side of things is definitely not my strong suit.

Finally got around to making the headlight mount. Used an old bedrail and my buddy gave me the bolts so it was a zero dollar project. I like how it turned out. Won't let post a picture in this post so will try to post some separately

Looks good. I love zero $$ bits & bobs. There was a member a few years back that made some cool custom stuff for a chopper, everything made from something else and lots of speed holes.
I'll post his threads when I find them.
