Came out damn near perfect if I do say so myself.

The horn is fine, but just flip it around so it's inside the frame, rather than out flapping around. No the tire doesn't look like it'll hit it at all.

Also, try investing in a smaller turn signal, or a mirror-mounted turn signal... that's what I did just so I wouldn't have to over-bend the brackets.

:cheers:

Update:

Every time I hit a speed bump my headlight hits the top of my tire knocking it up and moving the angle of my light.

I rebent the mounts and positioned the headlight as high as possible...

Not sure if I can aim my light anymore and I haven't tried driving yet... We'll see. Anyone else have any experience with this? Is it possible that my shocks are just loose?

If by shocks loose you mean soft then yes they are... very. Check out the wiki for ideas on replacing the springs... cant go wrong with a new rear shock either.

Yeah I put .90 sonics in my front end and there's no issues with it tapping the light at all... I've done a wheelie and set it down pretty hard and no tapping at all...

You might try mounting the light about 1/4 of an inch from the gauges... as high as possible without hitting it them.
