Title: Headlight Mods
Post by: The ModFather on May 24, 2013, 06:57:02 AM
I'm thinking of going with a V-Rod styled headlight for my 620 Dark as I've seen them on a few Ducs and they look badass. Not sure if there's an issue with the cabling/connector compatibility. Anyone have any experience with this?

Hard wire it or just install your own connectors.
IMO the v rod light looks like a droopy tit.

Anyone got pics of a nice droopy tit V-Rod on the front of a Monster?

Radical has used it on some of their machines no FHE though.

Here it is on my 95 900. Not quite done with it yet. I would like to find a better bracket for it that would tuck it in a little more.

Where did you get your headlight bracket? What brand?

Looks sweet but it seems it's gonna set me back between $165-$250 just for the v-rod headlight not taking in to account mounting brackets or anything else. Any less expensive way to source these?

Wow some amazing bikes in here.  Curious to know more about how they mounted the vrod head light in these builds.  Does anyone know if these mounts are custom made?
