private, I'm in the same boat as you. My headlight and mounting bracket will be here tomorrow (the windscreen was a vendor direct piece and will be here later) and I've been trying to find fork brackets like crazy to simplify the install.
Right now, I'm thinking of going the armystrong and Davidsa1 route and using flat stock aluminum to mount it. It's a bit more involved, but is really clean. The reason I'm thinking of going this route? Because you can't find 43mm fork brackets...at least not for less than $75!
The confusing part for me is that I've seen others that have used those cheap fork brackets that you see on eBay for $20 (the chrome or black ones that have 3 holes in them), but all of those say the largest fork they'll fit is 40mm and that's with a bit of work. It doesn't make any sense. The brackets I've seen on some of these naked bikes are those exact ones and I can't get anyone to say how they got them to work (I've started at least 2 threads in the last 6 months with limited replies).
I've seen other fork brackets used that look great, but again, I can't get any responses to where they came from.
If anyone can help privateryan and I out, I'm sure we'd both be extremely grateful! :thumbup:
*edit* These are the eBay brackets I'm talking about...
And this is the Davidsa1 method...
