Anyone successfull in mounting the headlamp forward to sit flush to the front of the fairing.
I found one photo of an RSD bike with such, google image "RSD gauntlet fairing". (can't load photos yet)
My thinking is it would need to be a hard mount, i'm assuming the movement of installing it with the quick release is the issue... maybe cut the interior buck on the fairing and install appropriate headlight mount?
I have the cafe fairing and just installed the DK custom modular headlight relocation bracket. My fairing is notched slightly on the bottom but looks like I'll have to cut a little more of it so it sits back all the way. Here's a pic I just took. The headlight will be more flush when I cut the fairing a little deeper. Looks way better than it being recessed in.
I made an extension from some 2" brackets I got at the hardware store. That and a spacer in between where the headlight mounts to the brackets, so you can tighten it down without bending the headlight tabs. Total cost - $5
thanks again dudes I just got a fairing the other day and will be taking some metal stock to work tomorrow to cut and drill for the extension, mockup is looking good.

I'm looking to quickly fab a 2" bracket to push my headlight forward through my gauntlet fairing a bit further, did you have to notch the fairing to mount yours flush?
