Pretty much the same. The eagle lights is a hair larger than the retaining ring. I cut the ring so it'd all go together. I'd like to think it can be done better than that.
I could try reducing the diameter of the headlight with a grinder/buffer. But do not want to void the warranty.
Going to sleep on it. Probably ignore it altogether, as long as the headlamp doesn't move around. I did use a couple dabs of rtv to set it. So the odds are good its the way it is....for a long time.

@Bubba Zanetti , yep, it's growing on me. Need a better stapler though, trip to the Depot is in order.
Got the rear prepped for the new slim turn signals, should just delete them. No one pays attention other the the popo. But why give any additional reasons to get stopped. That got old in the 80's, the four questions and maybe want to see your paperverk.
Got the vintage bags cleaned up as well. Bags had a white coating on them. SOm Lexol cleaned them right up, then hit them with some Danner boot dressing. I'll buff them out tomorrow, I guess.
Just nothing to do but some detail cleaning while waiting on the signals...sigh.
Studs on the bag will go nice with the studs on the seat.....Mustang seat you ****

The bags backing are rigid and 'look' like they'll stay clear by themselves. Otherwise I have a pair if saddlebag rails left over from a sporty. I'll adapt those if needed. Might have to do a spaced heat shield on the right bag, it's pretty close to the pipe outlet, and might roast.
Also have a great day idea for a support rail, I'll bend up some copper pipe to see if it'll work. But I'm still waiting on the reg and plates, have road tuning to do that ain't done yet.
Lots of ready made bits available,

After looking at the results, maybe I'll trade a hour of billable for a ready made solution.....remains to be seen
Edit: Seems its already made!
