I plan to fabricate a headlamp mount for after market head lights. I am looking into putting a teardrop or bullet style headlamp on my bike real soon. Check back with me or look for a new thread about headlamp mounts. I would say within a month or so if you are interested.

5 3/4 headlight by Wyatt Gatling, if you don't have a C model, you have to drill a hole on the lower tree just like mine.

Thanks for the ideas guys.I'm leaning towards a bullet style like 128's setup.I don't have a custom,but don't think drilling a hole will be too big a deal.
