Had purchased a set of headlight brackets, but they hit the tank, lock to lock. Didn't want to reduce the turning radius, so went another route.
Got a used/damaged lower triple tree. Cut off the ends, took a flapper wheel to get the high spots, finished it with 120 grit paper and a trip through the bead blaster.
Left side is just after the flapper wheel, right after bead blasting.
Two coats of paint

Had to replace the coil wires. Had seen where it had been done before, so thought I'd take a stab at it.
Started by knocking off the old epoxy with a screwdriver & hammer. Kinda surprised how easy it came off.
I used a "third" coil that I didn't know if it worked as a guinea pig. When I took the epoxy off, the wire broke and had to dig it out. Used a 7mm drill bit, and carefully got most of it until I felt the pin inside the bore. On the other two good ones; the wire came out whole.
Here's a shot of the guinea pig coil after getting the old wire out. Note the metal pin in the center. It's where the new wire has to get stabbed into.
You'd think the new wire (7mm copper stranded core) would just go right in. Not the case, had to insert a very small sharp tool into the end of the wire to get it started. Then expoxied in place.
