I didn't want to steal a thread.

Guy, did I miss where you posted the finished light install on your shield? from what i can see in the pic looks good

Thanks David:
Here's a shot right after I put them on.

This was before I added the angled spacers. When I first put the lights on, they were aimed to the sides because of the angle of the shield. I took a couple of large nuts and ground them down at an angle to offset the shield's curve. The last thing I need to do is move the headlight forward. The best solution would probably be the VTX mod, but I'm too chea ...  I mean frugal for that. I think I can fabricate a couple of plates to move the existing light forward then get a bill cap for it. I believe that will give me just the look I want.

An amusing thing. When I wired them in, I placed the switch on the plastic right under the triplel tree on the left hand side. What I thought would be a quick and easy place to rob power was from the front running lights.  So, I ran a wire into the turn signal housing.




At first, I though every thing was good. Then I noticed that every time I make a left hand turn, my running lights go out.

DOHHH!

Guess I'll be fixing that when I get around to the headlight mod.

Looks real good, glad you put that in about the wiring because I would have done the same and been dumbfounded as to the culprit

How about a relay from the hi/lo beam switch...that's my ultimate plan as soon as find the right wire to strip and solder.....any good/bad experiences, do's or dont's?
