Squidley Posted October 22, 2011 #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
friesman Posted October 22, 2011 #2 Posted October 22, 2011 Ill let you know in a couple of days if I have a set I can send you. Brian
Marcarl Posted October 22, 2011 #3 Posted October 22, 2011 I had a pair, but somebody else is using them now, otherwise they would be in the mail.
Squidley Posted October 22, 2011 Author #5 Posted October 22, 2011 Hhhmmmm.... I'm not sure I like that noise coming from you mister!
Black Owl Posted October 22, 2011 #7 Posted October 22, 2011 Satin or polished??? I think I have a set kicking around here. Will check and get back to you.
BuckShot Posted October 22, 2011 #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
sarges46 Posted October 23, 2011 #11 Posted October 23, 2011 Satin or polished??? I think I have a set kicking around here. Will check and get back to you. Wait a minute......isnt that the set you lost from me!!??
BradT Posted October 23, 2011 #12 Posted October 23, 2011 I had two sets gave one to Carl when the border patrol took his, the other I gave to you. Brad
Squidley Posted October 23, 2011 Author #13 Posted October 23, 2011 Thanks Fellas, I appreciate all the efforts with this
BradT Posted October 24, 2011 #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
Squidley Posted October 24, 2011 Author #15 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 Sold them all, took me 4 years to recoup my monies...I doubt that I will make that style bracket again
barend Posted October 24, 2011 #16 Posted October 24, 2011 Not using mine, you say you want to buy 'em back??
Squidley Posted October 24, 2011 Author #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
Prairiehammer Posted October 24, 2011 #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.

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
Snaggletooth Posted October 24, 2011 #20 Posted October 24, 2011 They are what Snaggletooth, (maybe?), calls Hen's Lips. Chicken Lips Kevin......Chicken Lips! Geesh, city kids ya know. :crackup: Never mind me......it's that voice again. Mike
Prairiehammer Posted October 24, 2011 #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 #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. Mike

I knew there was a reason I hadn't installed them yet..
