Regarding the 2014+ LR. Everyone is so upside down about how to install normal risers.

Get a pre 2006 headlight brow from J&P cycles.

2 5/16 x 2.5" bolts and nuts

Make a bracket that has two holes for your riser bolts.

Two holes forward of those for the brow.

Measure a bit, drill some holes in the flat plate.

Mount the top mount headlight to the brow.

Brow to the bracket/plate

Brow and plate to the riser bolts. Either above or below the top tree, your choice.

Works perfect, I even run a quarter fairing perfectly. No bottom mount BS needed.

Lama,

Thanks Man!!!

You are right. I was being a *****. I need to just sack up and do this myself. That's part of the fun. I was wanting to have everything look perfect like the DK set would be, but I can certainly do this.

Thanks again!

I miss riding my LR. It has been at least 31-32 days since I last rode. The LR owners in GA and FL are lucky.

the weather hasn't been that great in Georgia lately. I ride rain or shine above 28 degrees. The morning rides aren't great, but by the time I get off in the afternoon, it's usually mid 40s to low 50s by then so the morning commute is worth it. I do tire of putting all the gear on though, but like you said, at least I'm riding.

I decided to pamper mine with a gift. I ordered a flush mount fuel cap and gauge for it.

Good choice.

An easy install and looks way cool.

Did you have to lift the tank a bit to get at the plug? I haven't even looked at mine yet.

You can probably reach the plug without moving the tank. But if you have to, you just take the 2 bolts out and the tank will lift up.

I had mine loose already, to do the turn signal relocation wiring.
