I was just about to pull the trigger on those for my M750 but their is an issue with the clearance between the back of the bucket and the speedo cable.  The speedo cant be safely bent without breaking for the light to be properly mounted.  There is a cut out on the OEM bucket for the cable.  It doesnt look like you have that issue.
I love the look of that dual setup.

I was inspired by another dual headlight install, and a little bored with my single headlight so went to a dual setup...

Ordered a set of CNC Italy fork clamps and an older monster headlight bracket from bellisimoto, and a dual headlight setup from monsterparts....

The result:





Looks great DWS. Very cool looking job on the lights  applause waytogo. 

Normally I am not a fan of bellypans, but for some reason it works very well on your bike.

How'd you mount the speedo binnacle?

That looks great man! I have been considering a similar mod to my 620, including a nice short screen to fit. I think the dual head lights look very cool, really helps make the bike look custom.

You can kind of find a "mouth" between the lower triple and the fender. The face it's making doesn't look happy, though. laughingdp



Hahahahahaha, damnit... Now I can never look at her without laughing and seeing that face

IS that oil cooler off a 2000'ish era Duc? Looks a lot like the box on my 900.

I installed these lights on my M750 and I was snapping speedo cables every couple of months. I swapped out my speedo to one with a magnetic pickup.

I'm a bit confused at how you mount the headlight bracket to the CNC clamps.

not much to be confused about when they are in your hands, they are quite simple and effective. no drilling or cutting required for the older monsters. and this one looks much the same from these pics.
