Front Light

So the guy before me had some special fairing made that just covers the front light area.  While it looks nice it points the light down towards the ground to much to see well at night.  There is no way to adjust this.  It came with no original parts though I did see I can buy the headlight Bucket for $20 on ebay.  My question is how does the original headlight once I have the bucket for it connect to the bike? Are there brackets?  Something I need to search ebay for?

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

basically, all you need is #13, wire bracket, #14, headlight stay, and #s 15, rubber dampers that jam into the bottom of the top triple...

if no one else can source these for you, I probably can.... I'm just unable to verify I have everything until late next week...

make sure the bucket (in liknk below) you get is complete, or you'll go through this again..... ie #'s 13-17, 18-20 is just normal hardware
