put my buell headlight on today:
here is a side pic:
here is the sticker i put on just for exce!!ent
here you can see the CRG mirror i got. i was kind of apprehensive, cuz this thing is like 60 bucks... but once i got it, i see why its 60 bucks. first of all, the mirror itself is awesome. very clear reflection and has kind of a fish eye thing going on, but not too much, so you can see more of whats behind you. secondly, it doesnt vibrate. at all. stock mirrors sucked. all i could see was my elbows, and it vibrated like the dickens. the wind doesnt touch it either... the box says it will stay put until 120... i havent tested that and dont really plan on trying either
only downside ive found so far is the cost... but it is a good quality part.
here you can kind of see how i mounted the light. i used these cheapo brackets i got for 10 bucks at iron pony. they were in the harley section. the buell light has 2 holes that a screw goes through. it takes a 1/4 inch 20 screw. i had some bolts and nuts lying around and just kind of screwed it on there... ill get a pic closeup of the front later, but my battery died
here is my acewell speedo that came in the mail today. kind of smaller than i expected :-\ but it looks like a quality part.
im waiting to see if i can get a first gen gauge wiring harness. anyone got a spare? that way i dont have to cut the stock harness on the bike, or off my gauges, and i can just match up the wires and plug it in.
the speedometer is magnetic, and im going to have to try to figure out a way to mount it on my fork.
i got some woodcrafts coming next week sometime. that and some header wrap to cover up my rusty pipes and my "cafe racer" will be done as far as im concerned
