Title: Aftermarket headlight and instrument for 696 Post by: benjaminzel on October 25, 2010, 07:18:57 PM I installed the barracuda motors headlight on my 696 and now I have nowhere to attach my instrument panel. http://barracudamoto.it/DettaglioProdotto.aspx?IDP=1132&CAT=52 (http://barracudamoto.it/DettaglioProdotto.aspx?IDP=1132&CAT=52)
It looks sweet, but I have no idea how to reattach it. I am thinking tube fork clamps with some additional pieces of metal holding the panel in place. Has anyone does a similar mod, know anyone with parts to attach, etc... Title: Re: Aftermarket headlight and instrument for 696 Post by: Raux on October 25, 2010, 07:23:20 PM make a small angled plate that attaches to the two bolts under the top triple and to the back of the gauge pod with the four star screws.
steel or thick aluminum. thin aluminum will vibrate too much... you'll have to use the plain headlight cover instead of the bikini fairing unless you put a lot more work into the plate Title: Re: Aftermarket headlight and instrument for 696 Post by: benjaminzel on October 25, 2010, 07:38:18 PM Thanks raux.

I've been eyeing those headlights... please post pics!!!
Was the install pretty easy? This might be a good chance to mount the instrument gauges a little lower, too, if you don't want it sticking up so far. Title: Re: Aftermarket headlight and instrument for 696 Post by: DucatiTorrey on March 16, 2011, 07:23:09 AM pics?
