I just installed my new headlight. It wasn't too difficult except figuring out a couple of issues.
I ended up wrestling the wiring out of the original 'brow' headlight and threading it into the new shell (vice trying to disconnect and re-wire with the new wiring provided).
Then, I figured I'd have to drill out the lower tree, but I didn't count on having to remove the front wheel and fender to gain access. That or others are using a different (smaller or something) kind of drill. Also, the mounting bolt provided wasn't long enough so I had to go to the store and buy a longer bolt.
All in all, not too hard to do, but a little more involved than I'd counted on.
I would buy the top triple tree chrome cover if I was planning on leaving it like this, but I am getting a wide glide fork next week; so, this is just an interim solution.
Looks much better, for now!

I've heard nothing but horror stories from accutronix. 3 of my friends have been screwed out of big bucks by that company. Beware

Accutronix is top of the line stuff and I think your friends didn't read the instructions. You have to heat some things and freeze some things for the kit to work correctly.
