Squidley Posted October 22, 2011 Share #1 Posted October 22, 2011 I have a strange question here, does anyone have a set of the driving light brackets that I made that they didn't install on their bike? I would like to try and get a set back if someone has a set laying around that they didn't use, please send me a PM if you have a set and want to get rid of them....Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckShot Posted October 22, 2011 Share #8 Posted October 22, 2011 If anyone has an extra set that they want to get rid of after Brad has a set, let me know. I might be interested in them for my 86 VR. Thanks Gil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradT Posted October 24, 2011 Share #14 Posted October 24, 2011 So what happened to all those blanks you had ?? Careful these are collector items now, bet the price has gone through the roof Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barend Posted October 24, 2011 Share #16 Posted October 24, 2011 Not using mine, you say you want to buy 'em back?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share #17 Posted October 24, 2011 Barend, I have a set coming and also the set that Snaggletooth got off ebay. If you have a set that your looking to get rid of, talk with Buckshot above in this thread. I believe he might be interested in a set if you have them. Thanks again everyone, I do have it covered now, and perhaps if it is easy enough to reproduce the brackets that Snaggletooth got, I might try to make some of them to sell...we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairiehammer Posted October 24, 2011 Share #18 Posted October 24, 2011 Squidley? Are you looking to reproduce some First Gen driving light brackets? I recently acquired a pair of what I believe are VentureLine or at least Drag Specialties brackets. They are what Snaggletooth, (maybe?), calls Hen's Lips. These particular brackets were damaged as a result of a laydown it appears, but perhaps you could still prototype them. I was able to straighten the one to mount to the bike, but you can borrow them during the winter if you are thinking of making some from stainless steel or something. The accompanying pic is of the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones he has are strait out and not curved like the ones you have. I had a set like yours there and Marcarl has them now. If I do decide to make driving light brackets again I will keep the VERY simple. The ones I designed were a PITA as there was cutting that had to be done and then bending, very labor intensive. I have a set coming that I will look at and see if they can be produced quickly and fairly inexpensively. Thanks for posting up the pic and the offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairiehammer Posted October 24, 2011 Share #21 Posted October 24, 2011 City kid? Hover over Mount Palatine and say that! Sorry, Mike. And I am always preachin' 'bout gettin' the nomenclature correct...jeesh, mea culpa. Around these parts we say "Hens' teeth". You can see my confusion?

Snaggletooth Posted October 24, 2011 Share #22 Posted October 24, 2011 Hi ya Kevin! I had to take the shot, as cheap as it was. Can't be to critical. First time I took my daughter to a petty zoo she was petting a young calf and kept saying, "nice puppy, big puppy." I starter getting her out of the house more after that.
