New headlight and bracketry

[Biker Dash]

Well, as perfect as the headlamp I got from Sean is, it was not designed for the V-Max, so mounting it proved to not be a simple bolt-on job. The original bracket that came with the headlight had this piece that came up over the top of the headlight bucket to bolt to the top clamp of the bike it came from. Don't work that way for Woona, instead, it was hitting that piece under the speedo that the stock turn signals bolt to. Well... shit.

That was cut off first thing.

Bolt up the headlamp, and I start to wonder if it might be a V-Max part in disguise. The mounting seems as flexible as a V-Max frame and suspension. Mr. Slinky would be proud. Yeah... let's fix this shit. Those two allen head bolts (same ones that hold the T for the front brakes) ain't gonna cut it.

So, I made these brackets up. They look rough as hell, but if they get the job done...

Remember that cover... the one with the holes for the turn signals?

Time to put them to use.

And soon, it is all complete. Solid as a rock, and now I have mounting points for the bracketry for the CB I will be installing.

Progress is being made. I am pleased.

Dash I have a set of fork brackets that will work for you. Your more than welcome to have.

I might have use for them, for mounting my windshield. Depends on how long the rods are, and whether they are long enough for what I need.

PM your address & I will send them out to you

BD did you get the brackets, if so were you able to use them...

Got them... unfortunately, they do not work for me. Using them, I was unable to get the rods to line up with the mounts. That is ok, because I am certain I will find a use for them, that or I will find someone who needs such brackets.

I also have a stock exhaust and a stock handlebar that need a good home, as well as an aftermarket set of Clubmans, a 1" beach bar from the Shadow I used to own, and maybe some other odds & ends.
