Headlight Finished!

[The Antibody]

This is it. My dual headlight wonder.



These are the brackets I fabricated. They attach to the bolts underneath the triple tree. Swanky huh?



I also added these turn signals. I fabricated the extensions because, well... they were just too short. I couldn't see them if I was standing anywhere other than right in front.

Questions?
Comments?
I'll be here to serve anyones quereys to the best of my ability

wow...it just keeps getting better

[Adam R]

wow, that's a cool looking GS!

[pantablo]

Looks great. Are those the Buell lights ($60)?

A bit much on the orange guage covers for my taste buy YMMV.

Nice job on the lights!

[panik]

That looks Awesome!  

The paint job is very cool, and the headlights look really good as well. The brackets look very professional.

[GRU]

damn...you have one of the best GS i've seen

great job  

[The Antibody]

Yeah Pablo, they are Buell Lightning headlights. Somewhere around $60. You don't like those guage covers? Shame on you. Oh, by the way, what does YMMV mean?

i was just thinking about the dual headlight idea the other day and was goin to do a search for them.

awsome job man

i think if you had the time to fabricate these brackets and do a write up on the installation you might be able to sell a few of these, wink wink nudge nudge

now swap those forks with gold anodized usd forks and that would be a major killer look

Hey Pablo,
  What ever happened to the solo seat cowl idea we were discussing. Something to cover the rear portion while we don't have our significant other holding on. I want to see the dream again!

Thats one tight GS.

[javio1]

Anti, your bike just keeps getting better and better! I wish I had your talent. Keep up the good work!

I don't know if this is the dream you wanted to see again, but here are the pics I originally hosted for Pablo:

WHOA
that looks cool, especially the gauges in orange... the paintjob is very nice.
     
what happened to that small flyscreen?

I have dual headlights as well, but I managed to fix it all on the standard headlight holders, it's a bit of a bodged job   but the result is nice  



Dual headlights rule    

[danci1973]

Wow, I like the painted gauge covers idea - it brings a little 'live' to that part of the bike...

Thanks, D.

That looks great. Especially like those professional looking brackets.  
I went the twin headlight route, but used the existing mounts.



However, now I'm fitting USD forks I'm gonna need to re-think how to mount the lights. Don't think the 37mm fork brackets are gonna fit on the new 52mm stanchions!  :lol:  Though ideally, I'd like to retain the original side brackets if I can, simply coz I like 'em.



:dunno:   :lol:

[mwdbruno]

I'll agree with the masses...excellent job on the headlights!!!  

[scratch]

All these bikes look good!

[MstrsLilBrat]

[jag69]

I was thinking I'd slide aluminum tubing on the fork legs with ears welded on them. Then bolt a triangular piece to them which will also carry the turn signals... and fit the head lights to that just like you did. Of course the aluminum tubing can be swiss cheesed... with large and small holes and made lighter/cooler... and you can paint it balck or blue or other fancy color (If you thought of painting it mauve - that means you are ghey) and make it look like polka dots.
Cool.
