Sweet dude, what kind of headlight are you planning to go with?

I've got my stock headlight I painted black, and I got a thruxton windscreen going around that. I just got inside from doing a mock up and it looks good.

I've rerouted a bunch of the wiring and eliminated the U-Bracket and other junk so everything just slides into place. I like the look. Hopefully I'll be finishing that up tomorrow. Once that's done, fresh fluids all around and I should be good to go for the 1st stage of it's transformation  [evil]

Unless you guys have a better idea for the Headlight?

Yea, but unfortunately my present lack of income doesn't lend to buying too many new Headlights  :-\

I wouldn't say better, headlights are so much a matter of personal taste.  Sounds like yours will come out great, looking forward to seeing the transformation.

Looking good man.  ND is right, headlights are personal preference and if you go with a windscreen fairing then you are left with fewer options as some really cool headlights just don't lend themselves well to being mounted with a fairing without quite a bit of fabwork/bodywork.

Looking good - looks better black than red for sure - but I'm biased because I've always liked the darks better!

so i ripped out my U- Bracket and a bunch of the other little brackets and Holders holding the wiring in place an replaced it with rubber coated metal straps that go around the forks. I lowered the headlight and It looks good  [thumbsup] I've got to get a couple spacers for the thruxton headlight cowl, and a couple other little things and then I'll be ready to fire her up and take her for a photo shoot!
