Fork mount headlight brackets + trimmed gauge/horn bracket

[erichan8757]

Had the LSL light+ backets so the front end can look a bit neater.

I always think that the 7" light bucket is a bit big for our bike.
it's just my weird taste.

So I trimmed the bracket and spraypainted them black. long with horn tabs+holder.

now I just need to some nice new brake lines and clutch lines.

Love it! I really like how it cleans up the front end. i despise the "U- Bracket" on the Monsters and SC...

Very nice work. How did you manage to mount the gauges? I imagine you could lay them nice and flat.

Looks good...could we get a side profile shot including the whole bike?

so far I just tie the top portion of the U bracket to the original mounting tab.
eventually I will have someone machine the bracket to mount it right.

I will take new pictures today since the sun is finally out shining today.

at the mean time, this is all i have

Looking good, Eric. How about plugs instead of the risers?

Thanks Duckyboy,
I was thinking about taking them off before, but everytimes when I go on a longer distance ride, I slap the bars back on to get a better riding position.

I also would ( soon) chop a aluminum bar so I can mount all my stuff ( EZ pass and camera)

Good work dude. The bike looks fantastic all round!

Generally I think SCs look better with a smaller headlamp. You've done a great job.

The LSL brackets are nice and neat - although the U bracket does keep the fork legs clear... so I don;t hate mine now I've "disappeared" it by painting it black.




However, I agree on removing the risers and replacing with plugs. You'll soon get used to the clip-ons, plus the turning is sooooo much better. I predict you'll be taking the time to put those bars on less and less often...

[FareWarning]

turning with clip-ons i've found to be is incredibly responsive.. love it.. handlebars are a thing of the past... that is until my back goes.

Tell us about the exhaust. Any special tuning? Sound clip?
