Default Raised HL and Fairing up Ventura Style

Took a tip from my Brothers down in Ventura and fabbed up some new brackets for my headlight and fairing. Total movement was about 6" up and 1.5" out. Total cost of materials including metals, jig saw and sawzall blades, a new sanding disc, paint, bolts and new 3/8 drill bit................$45

Still need to do some finish work on the brackets but I thought I'd post it up anyway.

Not sure if I like it 100% yet but I could only see moving it back down about 1" if anyting unless all the way back to how I had it before.

Enough talk on a Friday............time for Money Shots








Made this Headlight mount that uses the riser bolts to attach it nice and solid. Need to get Loner Ind to CNC me a pimp daddy version




Thats pretty much all I've got at the moment


Bent up some 3/16th x 1" flat bar and made a sandwich mount for the fairing. Plan on doing some rubber coat or something to the mount and painting the bar satin black later this weekend

I like it in the original position better but thats just me. If it pulls your trigger go for it. Nice work on the headlight mount though.

I've run it up a bit already. Wind is about the same maybe a bit better and it vibrates more than my old set up at idle. I can probably fix the vibrations with some adjustments.

I'll keep tinkering with it till I like

Update: Put a small amount of foam tape around the HL to fill the gap between it and the fairing.........smoothed it right out in both looks and vibrations
