Buell lights, modified wind screen, and low profile turn signals





I got the front lighting worked out mostly by trimming the stock upper fairing. I trimmed it so that it fits almost perfectly around the Buell headlight housing. This way, I'm able to keep the stock wind screen for some pretty noticeable wind protection. I fitted some small low profile turn signals front & rear, too.

For the front signals, I moved them up by cutting off the mounting bracket and re welding it up higher on the headlight support frame. Pretty simple, but the frame is THIN, and I burned a hole in it on the right side.

Overall, the new signals clean up the look of the bike considerably, and even though they're small... they're bright. As a side note, I will not be leaving the H4 bulbs in the Buell housings. Night time visibility is poor with them. The reflectors really only work with the original H7 bulbs.
