Has anyone done vertical duals?  I was looking at the hella angel eyes and and looks like you could install them vertically with a little ingenuity.  Using the brackets they come with you can invert one and put them together one on top of the other and then make some home made brackets to mount them to the bike's headlight brackets like in the pic below.  The bottom one for the low and both for hi.  The wiring shouldn't be any different than for the horizontal duals.  What do you guys think?  Anything I'm missing?  This has got me excited...

 

that's 1 of 2 pics I could find of them on a motorcycle and those obviously have a housing so not exactly what I'm thinking...

mebbe if you got rid of the gap and put them closer together? :dunno_black: would take a little more "ingenuity" but might improve the look of it.  Good idea, tho, will def stand out.
If so many things taste like chicken, how do we know what chicken tastes like?

I like them a little closer togerther too.  I ended up with 3/4" by swapping headlight brackets from left to right and bending the middle bracket inward.  Also installed a threaded rod with rubber bushings and nylon lock washers (courtesy of Lowes) to keep them in place.  I rode it this way for 3k miles and it stayed solid with no problems. Got them off now cause they're going on another bike.
