gets better and better.

im gathering ideas from everyone elses projects, i definitely have those headlight mounting brackets sitting in my garage. i paid almost the same amount for my clip-ons, but theyre the best looking ones out there, good find.
 
What kind of fasteners are you using in the top triple tree? The fork tube and steering tube clamps. They look great. I might have to steal that idea.

Also really like the toggle switch in the rubber insert. Would like to see more on that.

The fasteners reminded me of the sex bolts I used back in the day to bolt my trucks onto my board. I saw them when i was buying some nuts and bolts from mrstainless.com.au. I thought to myself that they would clean up the triple tree, so I got them.
One side is a female and the other is a male and they screw into one another ;D

That rubber is actually a washer that was left over from tearing down and building this bike. It sat in the triple tree beautifully, so I painted it matte black and put a high and low beam toggle switch in it. That little green light is my neutral light, still thinking if I should put another little light on the other side to tell me when my high beams are on or off (scratching head)
 
A high beam indicator is usually part of the safety inspection (depending where you live of course).

Great work BTW.

Yeah, you should def do it ;)

You have the mount ready and waiting, and it's a good idea anyway.

Top work fella.

Thanks Joe, I was going to ask the forum for some advise on where I could purchase new fork tubes or how I could refurbish my old shity ones ;)

Let's not forget that I'm in Australia lol not much ol school Honda dealers out here.

[picky bastard] Is there any way to loose the hex nuts under the light fitting? If it sat flush on the tree it would be neater, or if you need to space it perhaps something round and shiny? [/picky bastard]

You know, I'm not normally attracted to lots of chrome, but your stuff is so deep and shiny I'm re-thinking my outlook.

Killer build fella.

cheers
