Try nestling your figure eight just under and back from
#2. You should have plenty of room, and the varied shapes
may complement each other, plus giving extra light.

That's a great looking ride!
I have to go with Rich on this one, I like #1 also. #2 is what you would expect to see and what most everyone would choose, but since it is a 1 off springer go against the grain with a light thats different.

I think I'll end up having more money in my bike than my house eventually haha
As someone who was contracted to spend some time in the sandbox I thank you for your service and you deserve your present. I understand the money pit that these bikes can be lol. It has to suck to put that much work into a bike and then have to store it and look at it as it tempts you all winter but you will have it ready for you when it warms up. I am sure you will tweek it for a while but I love the direction you're going and cant wait to see it come together.

What they said, with the variation, I find 'trim ring' only being black gives a good look.

Just a thought, maybe two of the first lights mounted one above the other and offset with the rake of the forks would look good! Otherwise I would go with #2. I had #1 for a while and it really wasn't proportionate to the rest of the bike and didn't cast as much light on the road.
