Default headlight mounting block

I was looking for a way to move the headlight out just a lil bit , the headlight on my street bob allways looked a lil smushed in. so i was thinking of buying a mount or fabing something outa aluminum. as i was looking at the mount i noticed the bolt that holds the light bucket on is not centerd in the mount, i turned it 180 degrees, and remounted the light, perfect fix without out spending a dime.very sutle,harley makes a great looking bike, but its the small sutle things that make it look better

I machined about 5/8" off of mine to center it between the trees.

I'm looking to do the same on my streetbob. Someone told me to use a mount for a headlight to a springer. Haven't looked into it yet. If you beat me to it... let me know how it works out.

If you want to move it out even further, here's what i did -posted in the Under $50 thread. If you've got some aluminum stock lying around it may cost u nuttin.

It's post 924 in the thread - i think link only works if your profile is set to 40 posts per page.
