Angel Eyes Moved/Sub Frame Done

Per members suggestions I have moved the pair of Angel Eyes closer to the Gauge Cluster.

Some may not like how I did it or the results, heck even I'm not sold on it yet, but for now it will stay this way.

What I did was just reverse the Headlight Ears from side to side, flipping them up side down when changing sides. The Bracket now covers the view from the side of the fork tube which I'm not so sure of. However it does provide a nice mounting hole, up high for the directionals.

Tell me what you think?












I also finished off the sub frame. I put in the final cross brace and 4 gussets.

OK, I didn't like the look of the bracket covering the outside of the fork tube so I switched them back to the stock configuration.

With the New holes that I drilled, I still think that the headlights are positioned higher and thus closer to the gauge cluster.

ohgood

ya baby !

maybe if you moved the lights forward 2 inches or so it would flow better with the gauges ? (i really like the look, you're doing great, ignore me! :) )

your welder looks like a nice one, who made it ?

Im done messing with the lights, sure they would look better if flush with the gauges but I'm happy with the mounting and don't wanna keep messing with it.

If your talking about the Welder seen in the photos to the left of the bike, thats a broken POS ARC/Stick, I believe it's a old Lincoln or Holbert?

I use a Sm. Miller Mig for all the welding on the bike. Heat range is much more manageable, less spatter and easier to work with thinner gauge metal.
