    I'm still torn. I think the stock light is a lot simpler and cleaner which matches the rest of the look, but then I look again and really like the duals... I'll probably just make the mount and try it out for a while... The thing is, if I put the duals on, then I can't use these super rad headlight nuts that I made that have real Japanese Yen coins (from a 2002 trip) mounted in them.






    As far as the controls:
    Throttle: Internal right hand mechanism
    Front Brake: right pedal, hydraulic
    Rear Brake: right pedal, mechanical
    Clutch: left pedal, suicide style, like a car clutch
    Gearshift: left hand, behind thigh

    I like em on there. Is your trottle still on the bars? I've seen hidden throttles before but I can't see a cable or anything. I dig the bike. I recently laid my 84' Kz550 down and snapped one of the stock muffler trumpets right where it is welded on to the stock pipes. I ended up just cutting the side off to see how I liked the sound. I liked it but it was too loud and hurt my ears. I think it could have been because the pipes end straight down from my head. Does extended the pipes all the way back like yours help with that?

    I ended up cutting my stock mufflers down to about half their original size but thats just as quiet as full size mufflers. I have to rejet the carbs anyway. I like to do open pipe if I can figure out a way to keep it from giving me a pounding head ache.

    At the moment they're just held on with tape. I'd probably throw crosshairs in the left and obviously the projector would go back in on the right.

    I would mount them by putting them inside a plastic contoured housing that I would print on my 3d printer.

    Anyway, here's pictures:




    And this is how it looks with the OEM light.
