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. :idea: 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! :roll:
Guess I'll be fixing that when I get around to the headlight mod.

ME TOO! :lol:
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?
