RE: headlight nacelle
You can find most of the headlight parts for a FLT headlight conversion on ebay. You will
need an old style auto headlight connector - a junkyard is a good source. There is a connector
block between the harness and the fairing and you will have to splice into the harness to feed
the high, low and negative to the junkyard connector. I did not use turn signals and light bar
but you would have to splice into those wires as well.
You can find the nacelle in most of the catalogs. There are 2 models - with or without the
hole for the cables. Most of them are chrome plated plastic. I did see one of aluminum but
do not know the manufacturer. I have the inner headlight bucket available.
