Got rid of the salad bowl they call a headlight....just finished installin a flat duel bulb light....had to make a bracket cause of the angle of the lower tree but that was easy enough....pulled the rats nest of wires from the bucket and relocated everything under the tank to include that thingamajig bolted to the frame behind the neck....really cleaned up the space between the front jug and the frame...I'll post pics later

Interesting! Wasn't so sure about the profile shot but it looks good from the front. Goes well with your rat bike image and nice install. Good to see some ideas out of the box. Give you an A+ for being original and making it work for your bike and look.

I like that it makes the front forks look wider but I would put a second set right under the first one to add a little more heft. Can you imagine how much light this would give you.

Definitely adds to the "rat bike" look with the black pipes etc... Likin' it!

I'd like to see a closeup of the triple tree to see how you cleaned up the rats nest of wires inside of the factory headlight.

I like Wolfie's idea about a second one...

I noticed that you aren't running any front signals... not required by law? or perhaps in the mirrors or ends of the grips?

I have front signals...2 amber LED's under the tree...very hard to see until they start blinkin

All the wires in the bucket just got pulled back under the tank...I had to lengthen the ground wire for the headlight and thats it...

OK, now I see the LED signals... had to really look close. If all those wires went under the tank, then BRAVO! There are a lot of 'em there!
