For those who want some back story, here is the link to my introduction section.

So been working on the bike these last couple of weeks. Got a new battery and found out the headlights do work. Well, all but one of the front ones. Seems the housing is shot. So I said time to remove them, was going to happen at some point any way, and seems legally, they are not required in my state.
I also found in these last couple of weeks that my horn was bad too. So swung by my local shop, and scooped up one for $15. Yeah, it's chrome, but it works. Not really stressing it right now. Just have to get it to pass inspection.
So the side of the headlight on my bike that the turn signal didn't work was pretty busted up. Maybe it hit something or got laid down. Not sure which, but I know shit happens.
So removed the turn signals, and when trying to remove the headlight, I broke the tab to the housing. Not happy about it, but I plan on replacing it anyway. I am going to swing by Lowes or Home Depot tomorrow to find a temporary solution to fix the housing until my tax check comes in.
Seems the mount that goes on the fork on that side was also broken. For now, I threw some RTV on it until I can replace that as well.
