‘17 chrome headlight bucket on my ‘14 - PowerDubs_imp - 06-03-2018

Fits no problem. Very happy with the result.

It does look really nice in chrome. I like it.

I think that you just make me spend more money , it looks very nice !

Thanks. I have a way of doing that it seems. A couple people did the handlebars I found, a couple people did the '17 SDBV forks. A guy or 2 did the mirrors. Another guy ground his cyl fins silver after I did- but that only cost him time, and I guess consumables for whatever tool he used. Smile

That's what makes this community great. I would have never known about the Staintune muffler if I hadn't come here.

The headlight bucket is quick and easy to do. I didn't disconnect anything other than the plug to the bulb. Everything else I just slowly worked through the hole as is.

Now if I get positive results out of the '17 airbox snorkel on the dyno, or the camshafts I am having built- I'd imagine others will follow.

Got the fork badge on EBay. It is for an early 80’s CB.

It came with a bracket, that I bent to fit and drilled a hole in the middle to mount onto the existing horn stud while lowering the horns.

It isn’t perfect, but I like the look. If you search EBay for Honda fork badge there are numerous options.

I might follow suit on the seat if it fits a '13. Old school grab bar looks good also. Nice job.

Thank you.

I'm really interested in doing this. You just ordered the bucket and the trim ring and glass from the 14 fit back on it? Do you happen to know the part number? I can't keep it straight which one is the EX and which one is the RS bucket, the last thing I want is to order another black one :/

I think I like it. I’m torn. My Super Sport had a black headlamp housing. The chrome headlamp seems more British than Japanese bike to me.
