Grandeur cycles has one....I would think there would be clearance issues with the bucket hitting the fender.

I have to agree with Traumaking on that one...

(EDIT) Oops, that's for up to 99. But they make one for newer years too. Poke around or ask your local indy.

Funny, they look the same. I have no idea the difference between the years. Anyway, there you go.

It almost looks funny how much room there is! not to mention the light would move with the shock keeping fender the same distance all the time. Light would be bouncing likespit on a red hot piece of metal!

I found the brackets a while back after hearing that a lot of people did that with Springers in order to put more focus on the suspension parts. I haven't seen one that way to say for sure but I'm reasonably confident I won't do it to my bike.

i've seen the headlight on the bottom of the shock on a few bikes online and kinda liked the look, but i did'nt give any thought to the light bouncing around. maybe i should rethink lowering it
