I wish I knew how to post pictures, you might like this. I took my headlight shell off and had it powder coated black. With just the headlight ring being chrome, it looks really nice. If anyone wants a picture, post your e-mail address and I will e-mail you one, including one of the centered speedo bracket I made.

I have seen that bike in person and I can attest,that's a great look on a Black.You should patent that speedo bracket design;people would buy that,the stock offset speedo only setup looks cheesy in comparison.

I'd love to see that black headlight shell. I had been considering doing the same thing, but the addition of a flyscreen more or less made it unecessary. I'm also interested in your new speedo bracket, although I must say I like the off-center original look. Please send pics to:

mancha_moses@yahoo.com

Thanks.

Here are bonnieowner's pictures. He emailed them to me to post here. Looks great! I guess this is as close to a nacelle as we're going to get for these bikes.

Very nice. The funny thing is that there is a thread saying some folks don't appreaciate the Bonnie.

I guess they just don't get it........Obviously you do!

Thanks for the pics andyes, nice job on the speedo bracket!
