Default Headlight relocation with SPRINGER BRACKET...PICS

I ordered a springer headlight bracket for the sportster headlight relocation and it came today. Wow. I just got it mounted up and got some pics without the bag so you can see how it looks.







I still have to clean up the signal wiring and such, but I like the way the light looks now.

Looks real nice with the Dyna headlight. Good idea.

I had to drill a hole in the lower triple tree to mount the haadlight which is from a Dyna.

There is a thread in the sportster section detailing what was done to relocate the headlight, but I can't find it right now.

From a couple of days ago.

Yeah, I know. I used to have the tool mounted between them so they looked fine. I think I am going to have to get a different sort of relocation bracket now. One mod at a time over here.
