What's the story on the LM3 headlight? Is it a similar situation like the LM1 - the European version outlawed in the US, so a goofy workaround presented instead?
I recently got a LM3 and thought the PO replaced the headlight with something cheaply available. But the more I looked into replacements, found they were the exact same thing. Instead of being a European style halogen light, it's a common generic sealed beam that's the wrong size for the fairing opening and looks goofy as hell. So, of course, I want to make it right.
Am I on the right track? None of the photos in my searches show what I'm talking about - it's like they're all from the promo (which maybe didn't want to show such a goofball thing - it isn't flattering, after all) or don't show the light at all.
I've found that the Europeans had the right light and the mounting brackets are a little different. I'm wondering if I can convert my brackets to accept the proper headlight? Anyone been there?
Along that same topic, this bike could really use some swan neck adjustable height bars like the V7S. A possibility would be to mock up the headlight ears like the LM4 with clamps and then weld longer 'risers' to the stock clip-ons. That way they could be low or a more comfortable higher position.
