Looks nice, but I have a question.

How much do those bars kill your turning radius? It looks like you'd slam your hands into the tank with a pretty slight turn?

how do you like those front turn signals? I was thinking of getting those as well, but wasn't sure if they would be bright enough,

You realize those are the brackets for the LSL single headlight assembly and not for the stock bugeyes, right? Looks a bit funky the way you have do things.

BTW. GSG-Mototechnik in Germany do a bit cleaner instrument+headlight relocator kit for yoke mounting the same gear.

Edit. The GSG system:

(the blinker holders are not part of the kit)

Those brackets are not the LSL brackets, they are from Jack Lilley. Sorry that you think it looks funky. I think it looks sexy. I appreciate your suggestion, but I have spent enough coin on this bike for this season.

I thought the headlights were straight, but I could be wrong. I will check on that. When I put the handle bars on I also thought I was going to have an issue with them hitting the tank. There is absolutely no issue with turning. I had to lower the headlights about 2 inches inorder to be able to fit the flyscreen on. However, it didn;t think it looked out of place.

Overall, I was suprised how it turned out. At first glance, it looks more low profile, with the clip-ons and the headlight move. With the LSL rear sets and the LSL clip-ons the riding position is much more aggressive and comfortable for highway driving.

I am just waiting for someone to smack on the clip-ons. My response is that these naked bikes are built to be modified to the rider's preference. I personally think the stock handlebars are retarded. The riding position is completely counter productive if you ride your bike anywhere besides local roads. Just my 2 cents.

Martin-

I do like the headlight relocator that you posted a bit more than the one that I purchased. Maybe if I have some money to burn in the future I will change things up, but for now I am going to hold tight. Thanks for the critical comment though.
