I see in the "Possibly Related Threads" that Lord Popgun found cracks in his headlight shell after installing a Road Comet.
They look very alike on the parts diagram, but the part numbers are different.

In my case, when I installed the RC for the warm weather like I do every year, I had a buzz. Couldn’t find the problem. The mounting for the RC should not cause problems. So I did a deep dive and close inspection revealed I mounted it with the headlight trim ring contacting the RC. After removing everything so I could epoxy the headlight shell I put everything back and made sure the headlight was in the RC opening with no contact. No more buzz.
I think the RC vibrating on the headlight led to the cracks in the shell. Since it is almost time to dismount the Street EX and remount the RC I will be more careful this year.
...MiLord, also riding over 120 miles/hr may crack it and vibrate, so SLOW down a bit
Well PB, my throttle cable has been giving me problems. Pretty much only have idle and FULL BLAST!
It is awesome though…
