new headlight mount

[crazyazsredneck]

i need a head light so i got these out of my girlfriends barn
cleaned them up put 12v bulbs in and started fabing the mount
. it does stick out to far, gonna cut 3 to 4 inches off so i can move it back closer
to the bike

Man I think you can do better in the headlight department.

Try and find a cop spotlight or something. I think it would complement well.

However, at the very least shorten that mount so it sits closer to the triple.

ok is this a joke cause that is horrible

 

[globalmaa]

ok i'm canadian and cheap as fuk cause i'm scottish but that is just fugly!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[catastrophe]

Whatever floats your boat man but I agree as well. You could do better. Or re design that beast

pull it in closer and stager the light more , could look ok if you cleaned it up a lot more

even if he was serious, that wouldnt last long with the vibrations these bikes make.

would not be cought dead with that on the front of my bike

art is in the eye of the beholder. but man, that's something!

Pull it in closer to the bike would help a little. Try to hide the wiring and my opinion maybe try to turn the headlights sideways, that could look cool.

Points for trying to make a mount rather than just buying one, but it needs refinement. Get rid of one of the lights, and bring the other one in real close to the forks. Dual headlights seem to work better on long raked out springer front ends. Don't be discouraged, sometimes you have to fab some things multiple times before they finally look just right.

i did shorten it and change the lights around some . post photos soon as the paint drys and the storm blows over . moved it almost 4 inches closer to bike .

 

[crazyazsredneck]

ok heres the final product yep its on the bike

 

[BigJimmyW13]

It looks better, but I would expect that thing to rattle off.

 

[jeepguy]

i just cant find a way to justify that if your gonna go through that much trouble i think you could have come up with something a little cleaner and functional but its your bike

 

[Capt_Zoom]

Yikes. You can get headlights for like $10 on ebay or nice new one's for like $40. Why man...why.

 

[crazyazsredneck]

got enough bought parts on it now . its time to build some, and it was cheap the bracket came off an old fish cooker, and the headlight came off a real tractor. and the number one reason it was fun hahahahahahha

Dont mean to pile on Ya, but that rig is gonna be shakin like a dog shittin peach seeds.

 

[jamesgs4]

brace it from the top of the lights, to the top tree and that should help some with the vibes. 2nd version looks better, if you like it, that is all that matters.
