06DEUCE, the dual headlight looks great on your bike. From a more practical perspective, is the light any better, stronger than the original?

Now, if they could double as a turn signal, besides being a headlightyou might have something,
otherwise just more "trendy" yuppy stuff.

This was the post I was hoping for. I am interested in the same swap and the effectiveness. I did however have some difficulty figuring out the mount mod shown. Can you take a minute for an explanation or more pics? Looks pretty good, overlook one of the above yuppy post....to each his own ...like bags on a Harley. Thanks for the thread and thanks for the referral. John

bracket was simple. just take a pc of 1"-3/4 x 1"-3/4 angle iron cut it aprx 2" long. drill a mounting hole on both side of the angle. 1 bolt to your triple tree, the other to the light. i made a new bracket and had it chromed. looks stock now!i'll get some new pics for you asap
