[QUOTE=jhoffy22;475182]Sweet, should be a relatively easy install. Are you planning on keeping the stock headlight?[/QUOTE
i think for now i will, i have an hid kit installed in it and its nice and bright and gives a good view, im leaving for boot camp in a few months so im trying not to go overboard with the spending(easier said than done) the only reason i want the vapor kit is even though my gauges are busted they still work minus the backlights on them so i night time i have no clue of my speed. i think if i were to get a new light id try to make the headlight off the newer models work i like the look of them a lot

I'm not sure, I kind of like having the bungie cord because it makes disconnecting things a snap. Plus, I'm not all that sure that a bracket would look any cleaner. If I can figure out something that looks clean I will definitely consider it. The top of my Acerbis Supermoto fender isn't exactly the flattest surface to mount something.

I would almost be tempted to try something like that if I had the dimensions
What material did you use?

It's had a few iterations to get to where its at now. It started big and wide just to get something on there, then I whittled it down over a few shop sessions. I had to re-drill holes for the plastic X2 holding bracket to move it back because the headlight was pointing too far up in the air, especially when loaded down for a DS camping trip.
The headlight will mount right up to the fender on the 06/07, but I think 09+ is tougher. I wanted it higher up on the forks to shine over the top of the fender bag as much as possible. The bag still gets in the way a bit.
