Yes, they are mounted with two screws through a headlight visor into the top tree, like a sporty

garry, the stock tsport fairing brackets will only work with fxdxt trees, good Apollo is asking if you will make a mount for the 39mm fxdx, fxd etc front ends, which will require a new mounting system to bolt onto the top tree in his pics...

bung king already makes a mounting system for the 49mm trees using the stock fairing brackets.

Thanks for the info Chris, I didn't know about the bung king bracket. But after looking at it, it requires that you already have the stock T-sport bracket to make it work. I am approaching this a little different. Our mounts will come two ways, for the different forks and will not require the T-sport triple trees. It is it's own mounting system that doesn't use any of the original parts. It actually clamps onto the fork tubes. Then all we need to do is make headlight relo brackets for the different models, that's where I'm going to need some help.

Keep ridin'

A one piece headlight relocation for the "eyebrow" top mounted headlights that are common on the 39mm narrow glides would be super clean. Instead of the normal spacers, and extra bracket that other companies offer.

I will keep you guys updated.

Fair enough. I know nothing about how it's done

I guess what i mean is that the conleys looks way too smooth, you can tell it's a one piece mold, it's a smooth curve to the "bezel" part. What if its not in insert but just mounts ontop. The stock one is tricky, i can imagine it's hard to replicate, but something that allows you to have that separation visually from bezel and fairing?

More and more DX-T repops coming to market... I'm wondering if you've got any updates for us Garry?

Thanks.
