great! thats the first thing i want to try to do on my own. i mean i put a new derby and timer cover and i flipped my mirrors but the headlight is something i really want to do. what size frame is it that you used?and did it bolt right onto the frame or did you have to drill holes. sorry for all the questions just new at this and want it to look right.

It's pretty easy to make or buy something at the hardware store to modify, and bolt to the existing mount holes. Good luck!

Well I had to drill 3 holes. 2 for the bolts that will mount it to the existing holes for the headlightbrow, and then 1 big one for the actual bolt that is mounted on the headlight (which is the same bolt you use to adjust it normally)
Just measure the distance between the two existin holes and go to hardware store and find something that fits the measurement
