Default New headlight and mounting for MS fairing

I got my new 7 inch headlight mounted. I also wasn't happy with the position my other brackets had it so I went with some different brackets. These brought it back further and looks cleaner. I also moved the signals up higher.

Very happy with how it turned out. I also modified a HD windshield bag to work.

That looks good. The fairing really flows into the headlight. Or the other way around. I think the visor makes a lot of difference. And the bars work well with the shape of the fairing.

looks so sick with the fairing on it.. have to be honest may just be the angle of the picture but i am not feeling it on the bike without the fairing but it could also be cause it is just a part of the bike pic and in the garage

I am not crazy about the headlight with the fairing off but starting to think it may not come off much anyway. Just use the shorter shield on shorter days.

These brackets moved it back about 2 inchs over the first ones. It really couldn't come back anymore because the bottom is right up against the trees.

Also plan to get the hog tunes box and it is going to be close to the bars as it is.
