Does look pretty awesome, would love to see a night shot of it on. Both the road and on the bike itself.

That has to be hard for vibrations on the bulbs, and the mount must be welded stiff to avoid bumps altering the aim of light.

Looks awesome!

Is there any noticeable 'blind spot' on the left side caused by the front wheel blocking the beam?

holy **** thats awesome....

i just got home and was putting my lowering block on the bike, and had to test fit it. the headlight can bolt is a different size, but i think i might have to get my buddy to see if he can fab a bracket for this so I can get some sort of adjustment on it. Maybe a 2-3" piece of steel....hmmmmmmmmmmm....

Those pipes r crazy looking! Looks like just the header pipes. You need to weld on a bend or something at the end just to give them a little shape.

I suspect your state inspection station finds it "unacceptable"
