I bought 2 TC Bros headlight brackets that "bolts right to the lower tripple".

I think not.
Tried both on 3 bikes. No go.

Gee littlebill,
how picky can you get? They're only a 1/4-hole out.
Seriously though, you have two options.
1) Send 'em back for a full refund plus postage and good luck with that BTW.
2) Slot the holes with a round file, bolt 'em on and send TC Bros a snarky letter.
 
Well, after looking, it doesn't even stick out far enough for the back of the headlight to clear the head tube unless it points too far down or it's a very small light.
 
Bill, do you really want to hard mount a headlight? Better pack plenty of spare bulbs if you do that!
 
I sent an email. No reply.

And isnt that what everyone does? Hard mount lights, remove signals, no front brake, sell it for $3500? Its custom.
Hell, I'll throw in a foam trucker hat. ($10extra for the brim rolled up)
 
No I need to see the bike please. With the exception of some of the best builders out there, very few xs's catch that amount of coin.

I hope you know I was joking.

I see a couple sit...and sit...and sit for anything over $3K.
I'd never get my money out of this one.
The previous owner wants the right of first refusal, but I think it's not gonna be in his range.

Yes, I knew you were joking, just playing along. I know what you mean about bikes sitting for sale forever. No joke, there was a place in Chicago trying to sell a tracker xs awhile back for..............$13,000! It was hilarious.

That part looks about as good as their engine stand. Boy, does that thing suck, lol.
Funny you should mention their engine stand. I spent last weekend designing and making my own stand. I was needing to practice welding anyway. Haha
