Re: 1978 GS750 - Brat style, first bike
i got a 3 1/2" headlight from dime city to put on it...
i fabbed a little bracket and have it positioned to where i thought i wanted it but the bolt for the headlight hits the steering stop, and is slightly off center which is due to using the mounting hole for the brake lines that met at a connector under the bottom tree... im replacing the lines with a stainless unit from z1 enterprises...
so im going to bump the bracket out a little to accommodate the bolt as well as two 9-way electrical connectors (7 spots for the turns and headlight, and another 9 for kill switch, brake light, and ignition) which i will put the female plug on the loom side and place it behind the bracket, then put all the pieces together in the male portions and plug them in... i think this will clean up my wiring and hide it as best i can for now...
im not sure how long ill keep the ignition where it is... id like to move it so that its cleaner on the bars, but i dont really plan on machining these trees any time soon to make them really smooth so itll probably stay for now...
you can see that the clutch cable goes over the lens, so im going to need to reroute that, probably just on the other side of the head tube
and im at a bit of a loss as to where to put the turns... i was thinking a bracket off the lower tree bolt or ears off the bracket im making for the headlight... im thinking the latter wont be wide enough for them to actually look like turn signals...
i didnt really notice the tilt to the right until i saw this photo... and it looks like a rats nest in there! i hope my ideas work out...
if you look at post number 24 on page 2 you can see the contrast of before and after
