easy peasy headlight mod
 
2 Attachment(s)
bit stoopid, but the height of the curvy naked light always bothered me. i reckoned it looked too top heavy, like a neck stretching out or something. so today i lowered it on the original brackets. i reckon it looks much better now especially as the screen i have covers the gap/space between the headlight and clocks. (the screen was only ever meant to cover the stupidly offset clocks in the first place) what dya's think??
heres a quick photoshop before and after:

Looks good, what screen is that, and exactly what did you did do to lower the light?

the screen is a puig 'raptor'. literally unscrewed the two bracket screws from either side and just lowered and rescrewed the top bracket hole into the bottom fork bracket hole. i will eventually make up a newer 3 hole strip to go on the fork bracket to stop the lower tip of the light bracket touching the fork, even though it doesn't really, but just to finish it off..

I see where you're coming from but in that picture it's fractionally too low (for the shape of the light) looks like a naughty dog bowing it's head (ignore me I'm on crack but the point still stands). Black Sv's look good though. My yellow'n (when it's alive) still looks far too friendly naked so I'm modding it.
