I have been shopping around for a new gauge set up and for the headlight I'm thinking of putting a 7" round on. I'm trying to keep the front end with a very clean look to it so I'm being picky about the next step. I fabricated the mounts for my front turn signals today and I'm going to try and get them mounted tonight. I'll put up some daylight pics tm. Until I can find a new gauge assembly and light I'm going to mount the existing setup to my forks so I can at least ride it again. I had alot of setbacks today it seems like nobody in GA carries headlights so I gota wait it seems. Any advice on how to go about the front end?? |

i know the mount stands out like a sore thumb on the front im going to paint it and resize the bushings i made for the turning signals later when its not raining. still lookin for a new headlight and gauges to replace the current set up but at least its cleaned up a bit. what do you think so far? |

i fashioned the pannels on the sides of the headlight out of the scraps from the rear fender lol it's amazing what you can do with a dremel tool and some imagination right:D |
