Custom Headlamp Brackets

[rainmanshaun]

I am trying to fit a 7" chrome headlamp to my 1955 A10 plunger bobber as I don't like the little one the previous owner fitted. I still have the original fork shrouds fitted but no Headlamp Nacelle so was wondering if anyone manufactures a set of custom brackets that would fit to the bottom yoke clamp bolts and the holes in the top of the top yoke??

There are some on ebay at the moment. The John Tickle type, which is usually preferred ebay item 270468589747 or the modern type ebay item 350261791018. I bought some John Tickle ones and got them re chromed.

Ah yes I had considered that type but it would mean leaving off the fork shrouds which I would like to leave on.....

G'day Rainmanshaun, look at this one 310174130469 you will need #9 as well to cover springs. Looks good if your stanchions are hard chromed, if not paint them. I used a set of alloy brackets of a riceburner.
Cheers

Hi there Muskrat - thanks looks promising can't quite work out how it all goes together tho' !! The cafe racer looks the business I must say. I have now adapted two of the stainless steel brackets that were made up for the small headlamp fitted to the bike when I bought it:http://i594.photobucket.com/albums/tt27/rainmanshaun/DSCF0752.jpg

Its a bit springy but OK for now !

Mmmm in fact VERY springy after the test run!! I think that I will be making up some top stays when I can get hold of some stainless steel strip
