Thanks Ben!

Anyone have their stock headlight bracket that they want to get rid of?

I sold my V7C and my stock headlight bracket is buried in a box in my storage unit.  The new owner really wants the stock bracket.  I told him I'd post here to see if anyone would want to swap their stock bracket for this lowering bracket straight up. (pic of my red V7C above) 

He's also taking off my TP clip on bars, CRG bar end mirrors and cafe clutch cable to return it to stock bars.  Might be a good opportunity to score some good parts...

email me if you're interested and I'll put you in touch ryanwburke@gmail.com

Ben,
            I found your fender elim. kit on ebay and I'll be ordering one here in a bit, looks perfect for getting rid of that chunky giant lurking underneath the seat of my 2012 v7 racer.  Thank you for that nice clean design.  I looked at your shutterfly pics of your v7 classic... did you keep the stock tail lights/turn signals on yours?  With the seat off it looks like two wires on your bike to splice, no?  You said starting from scratch could be a project but it looks pretty easy.  I don't know.

            On a related note, your instrument/headlamp lowering bracket is quite nice as well. However, I like the cheesy fairing/numberplate with the number 7 on the front of the bike.  And I'm ok with where the headlamp sits.  I do think the instrument panel sits too high and I'd like to lower mine.  Question:  could I mount your bracket and lower the instrument panel but leave the headlamp where it is and keep my fairing on the bike? 

thanks,
Chris

Anyone have problems removing the top Allen bolts on the bracket?

Julohan,

Use a ratchet wrench with hex sockets.  With those, it becomes easy.

Ben,

Would this fit a 2014???

Just installed mine this morning, and figured I'd add a few notes.
1. The mounting tabs are not on the new piece to mount the the shroud that goes around the ignition switch
2. You'll need a very small zip tie to mount the temp sensor to the new bracket (I ended up using a temporary twist tie).
3. If you want to take the extensions of of the directionals, you'll need 2 shorter bolts.
4. The Dart flyscreen will work, but the "stops" on it won't work, so it will rest against the instrument cluster. I'll be adding a small piece of foam      insulation against the cluster to keep it from rubbing.

All in all, it's a great addition, thanks Ben!

I'll have to make a new ignition switch surround, as this one is now too small.

I made a new filler plate that fits between the triple clamp and instrument cluster. I just need to find the proper black sheen to repaint it, and I'm also going to add a cig lighter outlet and move my voltmeter and CHT sensor to it in order to not make it look so barren.

Wow, Ken, love the shroud!  Looks great.  Did you ever add the cig outlet?
