I was looking around for pics of these when I was planning my next mod, and I did not really find any which showed how the headlight bracket is attached. So I decided to snap some pics now, it might help others when contemplating options for headlight and gauge lowering etc. Ordered them from Bellissimoto; great service. You can see on the pics that there is a hole on the inside where the OEM headlight bracket attaches easily with the original bolts, with the aid of those little black rings. I am not done with the front yet; still thinking about a dual headlight. Gauges will be lowered below the triple. Pics:

Here's a custom bracket fabbed by speeddog using fork collars. Really cleans up the headlight area a ton

I had to manually copy this URL to my broswwer for some reason, if this is the correct link, very sanitary  waytogo

Are the forks, triples, brackets, etc. wrapped, painted, PC or anodized?  Nice rich uniform black on all the pieces in the photo.

What kind of reservoirs are those on the 999 masters?  I'm a fan of the triangle coffin style over the remote pee cups anyway, but those look slick as all hell. 

/threadjack

I actually fabbed my own as well, but they're pretty jank by comparison so you don't get to see them Smiley

those are rizomas.  just tucked right into the masters and uniform "clutch res" size.

I decided that the pic is crappy enough for you not to tell how bad my welds are.  Here's my home made jobber.

Did you cut down the bottom part of the U-bracket to hold the brakelines in place?

Yep.  I didn't clean up the cut marks, but it's really difficult to see while it's on the bike.

 Like it a lot!! waytogo Thinking of doing the same on the Moto Motivo Monster.
