Default Mocking up my new lights

I hope you can look at the concept and offer me some feedback.... this is just me grabbing pieces at hand and slapping together a mount so I could get them in the air and look at them.

Thoughts? Ideas? Opinions?

quote...you remember when your uncle pulled a quarter out of your ear and you thought it was fantastical....magic...then later you find out how it was done and you were completely unimpressed

only joke-ing......i would move the turn signals back out to balance it better

the primary reason I moved the signals to where they are is that you cant SEE them with such a wide array of headlights LOL

How far apart are the signals? Depending on your state, there will probably be a minimum distance that your signals need to be spaced apart.
My rear signals are LED, strut hugging, mini bullets. I'm pretty sure they are not spaced far enough apart, but they have been that way for 2-1/2 years.
I live in SW Florida, where they seem to be fairly lax on motorcycles.

I would get rid of the big passing lamps and go with some small ones....too much for the front of that bike.
