Nose cone removal / Streetfightering..

[Rehab]

Evening everyone,


I fancy taking the nosecone off my 2003 and fitting twin dominators. Has anyone out there done it? I'm sure the headlight side of things will be fairly straightforward, the bit that worries my is what to do with the clocks.


Any pointers would be great.


Cheers

you can get all sorts of electronic aftermarket clock sets these days from the likes of kosso ect the german motogadget ones are excellent quality try searching ebay theres loads of options .theres lots of options on headlights to as the dommies arnt very good at night and are getting a bit old hat nowadays whatever you decide tho good on yer for wanting to personolise your bike

Hi, i was planning much the same with mine, i am going to fit a single 7" headlight and fabricate a bracket to mount the clocks bolted to the bottom of the top yoke, i have seen it done but cant find an off the shelf bracket.

When I had my naked hack, I made this bracket for the clocks. Just played around with print settings till it were printing at actual size, cut it out, then used that as template for 2mm steel. Holes at bottom fit under top yoke, using handlebar riser mountings.
Think I did end up shortening the bracket 15-20mm, to make a much neater fit, but at least this will give you something to start with.

Thanks for that

All that time off and you've only just got round to it? Lazy git lol.

[Dave G]

Oh great, so this new forum means imbeciles like you aren't banned anymore?

Hi Dave G printed at 208% and all the measurements are as near as a near thing, when you say you shortened it i assume that is the the section where it is bent

Hi Ian. Yes, shortened it at the bent section, am pretty sure it was 15mm, to get the clocks nice an close to the top yoke. Obviously tweak the bend to suit. The mounting point is a fiddle to get over the ignition barrel, but it does go.

Couple of years since I did mine, an that bike's gone now, will have a look for a pic though.

[Dave G]

Here should be a pic, if I've got this new forum worked out...

[Dave G]

Oh, and Suzuki SV650 headlight brackets make a real neat job of things too.. Shortening an tidying the loom is straightforward, bracket for the rec/reg is simple, an used an 8" round headlight on mine. Bike looked good imo, an was fun, well worth doing. Anything else just shout..

[t140]

Thanks for the info, will post pics when it's done but dont hold your breath,

Hadn't checked on here for a few days. Come back to more than I'd hoped for!


Thanks for all the various input!


Think I'll give this a go. Soon as the weather turns proper nasty -- Shouldn't be far off!
