In the pic it does, but because it is a bad pic, it actually has a more web-like texture as opposed to a grainy one.

On a side note, I think I am going to try something different for my 3rd and final headlight variant.

I am going to use the same mounting block that extends forward and down, but am going to have two holes (one on each side) drilled in the triple tree so I can actually mount 2 5 3/4 headlights side by side for a look similar to that of a triumph speed triple



Same finish (satin housing/black ice trim ring).

I think it may finally give my ride the look I am aiming for since I have yet to decide on a headlight configuration I am happy with.

+1..

Looks like he edited his post a bit, the original was even more negative and was somewhat rude and offensive. But I guess he knew that since he went in after the fact and edited his original post which is below:

You may have taken it back, but the proof was in my email regarding the thread response. Just cause you took it back, doesn't mean you didn't mean it. But honestly, just thought it was funny, I doubt anyone here really cares much what anyone else thinks, that's why we call them OUR rides. But we do like to share our ugly Dyna mods once in a while, LOL...

No worries, nobody here honestly thinks their ride is perfect for everybody, the beautiful thing about mods, they make them your own, and not anyone else's.
