Hey guys been a while since I have been on this site.
I have done a lot to my Nightster "Jackie" since I last posted.
Recently I got an Alien Black headlight from PrimoRivera.
It also has led turn signal lights in a circle around the main light...COOL!!
Now I am tasked with removing my eyebrow and stock headlight, drilling a hole in the lower triple tree and installing this ultra cool but bottom mount headlight.
I have found it difficult to find a mounting block that would work for getting the light high enough to not look stupid when mounted.
I came up with a black block that is 1.5in high and .5in forward.
I am waiting for it to come in now so I can get to work.
I also installed some Roland Sands led stop/turn signals on the rear and some Kuryakyn black Iso Wing pegs.
I am curious if any of you guys that have changed your buckets have ran into any issues in doing so?
I already figure I will have to visit the local hardware store for a couple bolts, lockwashers, and some rubber washers for dampening.
I will try and take some pics of how far the bike has come once I get the light installed.
Been winning some bike shows with it, and am pretty excited about how its turned out so far.
More to come...

probably not with this particular light.
It has a lot going on inside the outter shell.
Here's a link to pics of the light, personally I think it's awesome and exactly what I have been waiting for.
Been looking for something different for a while and this is it.

The LEDS around the main light bulb can be used as running light OR divided in half for right or left turn signals (which is the way I am going to go with it and remove my front turn signals completely.
