third times a charm:
as mentioned a while back, after getting the bike on the road and breaking in the motor i realized i cracked the custom headlight plate along with the housings for the piaa lights.
well after much re-re-re-consideration, the front plate was redesigned with new piaa lights in mind and some vibration dampening included.
all three piaa's are the latest versions out. their mounts are metal brackets instead of the plastic of the ones i originally used. i decided to put rubber pads between the piaa lights and the brackets of the light plate. there are rubber pads in between the brackets of the light plates and the triple trees. hopefully this will cut down on bad vibs.
the end result (please ignore the protective tape and rough surface-there needs to be some clean up):
the plate is designed to hinge forward allowing access to the backs of the lights:
oh yeah - the big piaa on the left (driver's right) is the turn signal light. blinks for left and blinks for right. this light however can use an led h3 bulb which cuts down on the draw of the original light which was found at a swap-meet and bought for its diameter.
