He's asking if the brackets that hold the stock headlight can be flipped upside down, I think?

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

I think the excessive capitalization makes it really hard to read.  It's hard to see when on sentence starts and the next sentence begins.    It might just be me though  :dunno_white:

I don't see why you couldn't. give it a shot. It wouldn't be too hard to modify the stock one to put your headlight exactly where you want it either. looks like you've fiddled arround with your bike enough to be pretty handy by now.

Oh yea , i had the idea 2 drill it before ,but i dont have a drill or bits lol , i borrow them off mates when i no ive got a day of wrenching , looking at it agen i think i can , and i want it Flush , and i mean flush against the forks , with the clocks i couldnt , but ive finished my custom mount made outta my old clocks, * i say custom , i just cut it , and painted it lol , and i just ordered a r1 light with indicators built in , should look good, lunchbox should be 2day ,

Its getting there , ive spied a 1992 katana on ebay, thats pretty messed up , good set of forks on it , and if i pay 100 quid for it , i get a whole from end , and i could make the 100 selling the tank , and rear wheel , and selling my front forks,  hmmm , not sure , i looked at the write ups , and it looks well outta my league 2 do , sorry ive got right off topic , ill have her on stands 2day and ill see what i can do , also , im gonna have a look into stuff to neaten up the wires ,

Kool , Cheers

I'm not normally a spelling/punctuation nazi, but surely you know what a period (what this is >>>> .   ) is and how to use one.  Please give it a shot.

I've been looking at that for awhile. Looks like it will work- invert the indicator brackets  (and swap right for left) and bolt the headlamp "ears" back on the way they are. I don't think reversing the "ears" will work, but they should bolt back on just the way they are. The turn signals will end up higher, just under the bars. Looks like the wiring might get crowded, and it's more exposed... I was thinking of doing that if I went to dual headlights.



MY turn signals are in my headlight , so i only need the one set of brackets i think it might work , ill have 2 check when it stops raining lol
