41mm headlight brackets
Looking to lower my headlight assembly and eventually transition into clip-on bars... not crazy about the options given to us by the regular vendors (which, for my tastes and budget are too ugly and/or expensive). In a perfect world, I'd also mount my mini turn signals from them.
Found these: http://www.xpostreetfighter.com/detail.aspx?ID=68 which might work.
Anyone have any experience in this? If so, post your findings!

I got these universal Ceriani style alloy ones on ebay. They are made for 41mm forks, (but have adapters for smaller) and are a brushed aluminum alloy that you could also polish out or paint. I left them brushed alloy and they match the Thruxton bits nicely.
They are also shorter out to the headlight bolts by about 1" so it brings the headlight bucket back neatly. You can then adjust the height up and down on the fork tubes to suit by several inches.
I also drilled them and mounted turn signals to them. Here's a pic: (I hope you don't think these are the ugly ones!!)
Cheers,
BLIGHT

Yeah that looked pretty good and inexpensive also. I'd probably powder coat also. Anyone else???

Yeah Mike, those Joker brackets are the business. Have you seen the new clutch cable bracket and EFI T/B Tops? Trick stuff.

I've got LSL headlight mounts...they're the early version with headlight mounts cast into the lower strut. Prior to springing for those, I used some CB750 exhaust clamps on the fork tubes to connect the stock thruxton headlight mounts.
Good luck,
