Thanks 06DEUCE,
It may not be the "best pic", but its enough to give me an idea of what's in there.
I like the idea of turning the mounting bracket around.
If you look at your sig pic as a before and the first one you posted.
You can see it hangs out there about 2 or 3" farther and makes the bike look a little "longer".
Very clever.[sm=goodidea.gif]
BTW If your camera has a little button on it marked like a little flower trythat kind of close pic after you push it. Its like an international symbol for a macro focus setting. It will resetthe camera's electronic auto focus system to allow it to focus properly on things closer than 2 feet away.
EDIT;
I noticed that you have the Bombay bars w/tach on your bike. How do they compare to the stock bars as far as where your hands and arms feel with them?

i did my first night ride sincei fixed my headlight. this is a must do guys. replace the 2 front studs and leave the back alone. just enough flex to keep from shattering bulbs and no bouncing all over the place.

RE: Headlight's shaking all over the place
Rode last night for the first time since I started this threadas well and I gotta tell you tightening the three bolts on the rubber studs made a WORLD of difference. While I am still going to do the 06DEUCE modthis will hold me over nicely till I do.

RE: Headlight's shaking all over the place
just a tip.. don't wrench on the stock studs to hard. they are glued together to much trq and you will snap the stud off the rubber. i learned the hard way...[:@]
