Anyone successfull in mounting the headlamp forward to sit flush to the front of the fairing.

I found one photo of an RSD bike with such, google image "RSD gauntlet fairing". (can't load photos yet)

My thinking is it would need to be a hard mount, i'm assuming the movement of installing it with the quick release is the issue... maybe cut the interior buck on the fairing and install appropriate headlight mount?

 

I have the cafe fairing and just installed the DK custom modular headlight relocation bracket. My fairing is notched slightly on the bottom but looks like I'll have to cut a little more of it so it sits back all the way. Here's a pic I just took. The headlight will be more flush when I cut the fairing a little deeper. Looks way better than it being recessed in.

 

Here's what the bracket looks like. You just place your headlight block to the bracket from DK. Really easy to do IMO

 

thx, yea looks a lot better.

what mount are you using for the faring MS trigger?

 

Yea just their trigger lock system

 

I made an extension from some 2" brackets I got at the hardware store. That and a spacer in between where the headlight mounts to the brackets, so you can tighten it down without bending the headlight tabs. Total cost - $5

 

looks good

 

Man that looks great. I hate the gap between my fairing and headlight.

 

thanks again dudes I just got a fairing the other day and will be taking some metal stock to work tomorrow to cut and drill for the extension, mockup is looking good.

 

I'm looking to quickly fab a 2" bracket to push my headlight forward through my gauntlet fairing a bit further, did you have to notch the fairing to mount yours flush?
