I don't know, IMHO it seems very busy on a FX front end, it wouldn't look bad with a FL front end. just my $.02

you have the go head to land! Add some laser pens shooting out the sides or something.

Well I think I agree with others, looks a little too busy up front there..but wouldnt mind seeing how much light and how good you could see with them.

Add two more cents to what he said.
These are from Kuryakyn and a bit expensive for my taste. But they or ones like them would be a better fit to the FX front end.





They mount to the fork tube, but like I said they want a bunch more money than I'm willing to part with, about $360 for the set.

I forgot to add they are model #5009 and use H3 35W halogen bulbs so even if they are small they should be fairly bright.

I think the turn signals would look better in line with the aux lights, and the aux lights should be slightly smaller if possible.

EDIT: LOL - and not I see the post directly above mine! That's exactly what you should add, imo.

the turn signals that came with the mount looked crappy to me, but the thread was a perfect fit for the stock harley eggs.

I have some very small lazer starz, I will go to the hardware store and see if I can find some long bolts to fit through the mount with a thread to fit them.

I still have to figure out how to get rid of that major hunk of aluminum that the triples are mounted on.
I will wire them up tonight and see if I can get a 747 to land in the driveway

just another opinion FWIW is the aux lights are too big. As are the turn sigs. Too busy for such a leaner lookin' bike. The look almost as big as the motor hangin' on the front end. But hey you asked and some answered.
As stated it's your ride.

You could get rid of the turn signal housings and install turn bulbs inside the Aux light housings. Just drill a hole for a socket and wire them in. It would be cleaner.
