Default offset headlight mounting bracket
I have a 2008 fxdc with a detachable quick release harley windshield.The front of my headlight sits behind the front of the shield causing a glare.I would like to move the light forward about an inch.I will need some kind of offset bracket.Has anyone done this? Where can i find a bracket?

Bought this on from Dennis Kirk a coupla years ago,but it's made by Headwinds. Seems like it was about fourty bucks. Don't have the part number handy but it should be pretty easy to find on the Headwinds site.

Good Luck

Tom

Made my own. Cost was around $20 not counting my labor. Posted it in the "Under 50 Bux" thread sticky. This should be the link to that page (its somewhere around post #920.

You may want to check into a trim ring. That's what I did and it worked great.

Had the same problem on my 06 lowrider. Added a hooded type trim ring and solved the problem.

Just bought a 9" headlight as part of my winter uprades. I found this bracket on JP Cycles:

I wonder if I use that bracket, maybe I could install the dual light setup from a fatbob.
