I know i've looked at the website before, but i dont remember. did the visor come painted like that already? I would def say move the headlight out so its flush with the front of the fairing, but its also cool the way it sits. as far as moving it foward, you could get a piece of steel square tube from the hardwar store n cut it n drill it as you need.
I've found that the hardware store is alot more useful than ordering kits n what not for relocating stuff. good luck and put up some pictures of it when you get the light the way you want it!

That is a very good point. The headlight definitely needs to be moved forward though for the proper look.

If you put a lot of miles on your bike it doesn't hurt to spend a little extra dough on something specifically made, and by a quality manufacturer. That way you can just make the changes and not sweat if its gonna hold up to the abuse.

I have no drill, no lathe and nothing to cut metal blocks with.
My idea was to use the Arlen kit and put my stock block on it to bring the headlight go out and up.

BUFFETING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF
ok so I know the headlight is not adjusted properly but, with the fairing the lowerst possible I get buffeting major. with the fairing raised to the top of the triple tree I get buffeting. no good right now. I feel like vertigo and i just rode down the street.
so would a taller windshield help this? Im 6'4 so i stick up there pretty far when riding. what are some thought on getting ride of buffeting. maybe its because the headlight is not closing the hole so lots of air is rushing in? I dont know, couldnt make it down the street
