I'm thinking about going with that headlight too, any pictures? Did it mount up pretty easy?

those posts are pressure fit and can be removed with a pair of vice grips. in fact, when i removed my stock headlight setup (specifically the U-bracket) they came out with it.
just wiggle them around, maybe use a little lube...
edit: just looked again and realized your bike is an s4r........but should be the same as my s2r

So far install has been pretty simple. Everything just basically plugs in. The most difficult part will be trying to figure out how to secure the wires without the headlight U bracket. I was hoping to drop the gauges down but unfortunately, there is not enough space...the headlight in its lowest position is about a half inch below the gauges.

Nice, I'm surprised I haven't seen this light on a Monster before. I think I've seen it on a custom Multistrada though. Please post up more pictures once you have the gauges back on.

Just screw in the appropriate sized screw into the triple to push the rolled pin out. Works like a charm.

LOL - now why didn't I think of that!
ok, so here is another photo with clip-ons installed. The wiring coming off the controls is a bit of a birds nest...is there any way to clean that up or is that the way it supposed to look?
