Headlight brackets
« on: May 15, 2009, 05:23:02 PM »
Finding pristene headlight brackets nowadays is a rarity. Making them is easy and inexpensive. A couple of pieces of 1 1/2 aluminium pipe with 1/4" aluminium plate triangles welded on, like, how hard is that? The stock seals fit perfectly too.

For the 750 they make reproductions that are fairly inexpensive....

I made my own too... After seeing how the headlight looks when it's a little more foreward and a little lower, like Kingcustom places them, I just had to.

I like the industrial look of the welds.  Now all I have to do is source 1.5" alu tubing.
