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

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.

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
