Well, I think I'm done for the moment. I'll be adding some stripes, but that's about it. Not 100% satisfied with the way I routed the power for the auxiliary lighting, so I may go back and rework that at some point. Also, the plastic fairing cracked around the bolts... the M2 headlight is just too damned wide. I may wind up using that spare headlight I bought after all. But for now, I'm tired of messing with it. When something breaks and falls off, I'll revisit the drawing board.

So, anyway, here are some big pics. I am rather proud of my reworked brackets. Much better than the first attempt.

I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of single headlights (heck, I converted my X1 to dual!), but....that looks slick! It appears that you have done a nice job!

2 thumbs up for chasing your dream and vision and doing it well!

plus some heat shrink, small black zip ties, and a $12 EP-36 flasher relay from Advance Auto. You can form those LEDs with a hairdryer to make them C-shaped to wrap around forks or whatnot. I needed some flex because of the curve of the mirror housing, and none of the other flexible LEDs I found had an outer protective "lens".
