Need pics of cut down acerbis

I just got a new blitz headlight and I'm planning on shortening it like I've seen others do and I just wanted a few example pics to use as a guide. I've gone through like 15 pages of the F4i pictures thread and found probably 5 pics, so it's not like I'm entirely too lazy to search around some

Re: Need pics of cut down acerbis

Thanks, jangles! Yours is one of the one I have saved on my pc as a reference. I'm planning on either putting the smaller bulb from my old beat up cyclops like you did or possibly making a backing to hold the main bulb from it in place of the two stock ones. And Tanus, let's see yours! I always think of your bike when I think about this.

Re: Need pics of cut down acerbis

Yeah it lines up just fine but there aren't really screw holes to hold it in place. I was just wondering how bojangles got his to stay
