Anyone here have expeirence installing an arlen ness headlight relocation bracket? Just got a ness fairing and bracket but the bracket didn't come with an install info... thanks guys!

 

hey did the kit come with mounting harware for the fairing?

 

The fairing kit came with mounting hardware but I'm going to have to do some adjusting because the brackets don't fit around the forks like they should and I'm not too sure yet but they might not be long enough either... I only rest it on there so far just waiting to see how to mount the headlight bracket if anyone has any ideas. Its a badass fairing though I'm digging it a lot more then the HD one.

 

I had picked one up to use when mounting the ness fairing on my '06 streetbob. No instructions and the bolt that came with it did not seem to fit anything!! I went to the hardware store and bought nuts and bolts to make it work and just kinda messed around with how to get it on there. Oddly enough when all was said and done I found that I did not like where it was putting the headlight in relation to the fairing. I ended up just using a longer bolt and an oversize nut (as a spacer) to raise the headlight almost an inch. Now I have an unused relocation bracket, but I am happy with the way it turned out.

BTW...I found that until I taped the fairing into place where I wanted it, moving the headlight around was a waste of time. If I had just taped the damn thing on in the first place I would have realized allot sooner that I only needed to raise the light and not move it forward.

Good luck with it.

 

Yeah I had a feeling that's how it was going to play out but you never know until you try... Thanks for the input its much appreciated.

 

I moved mine forward by using half of a master chain link. I'll try to post pictures when i get a chance.
