Sportster Headlight Bracket Fabrication

This week on Weekend Adventure Rides I get rid of the stock headlight mount and fabricate a bottom mount to bring back the classic Harley look.

Hello from California! Thank you for posting this fab project, really motivating for me to do the same thing!

[@Caputche]

Thanks for sharing!

Hello from germany 🙂
Great work! I saw this and built the same thing yesterday.
Therefore I found a 1" stainless steel sheet but my headlight is kinda shaking when the Sportster is running at low rpm.
Did you have the same problem?

[@WeekendAdventureRides]

Yes, that's going to be an issue with the minimal support. May improve with some gusseting on the back of the mount.

I have to disagree, it’s not a “modern” look. The sporty brow has been around for 40 years. It looks badass on an extended 35mm narrow glide front end on a shovel or a sportster.

[@WeekendAdventureRides]

Agree to disagree.

@@WeekendAdventureRides I mean there’s no wright or wrong answer lol, I wasn’t trying to come off like db, I just happen to be a fan of the stock xl visor is all. I love the AMF years, ugly mag wheels, crazy frank fenders, unsightly disc brakes ect. I can appreciate what you do as I’ve been fabricating for a living for the last 25 yrs and riding bikes for even longer. Knocked out a few custom headlight mounts in the past myself. My next build I was actually thinking of fabbing my own xl visor from scratch with some dimpled holes on each purchase area. Anyways, now I’m rambling on. 🤙

How much would you charge for this ? lol I spent all day looking for things to use and I just don’t have the tools.

[@matthewrooney5438]

I just wouldn’t need the hole for the wires and I don’t have risers. I plan on using the holes form the brow it came with. If you would be willing work it out with me lmk

[@WeekendAdventureRides]

Send me an email with some pictures of the front end and I'll see what I can come up with.

[@matthewrooney5438]

Awesome dude!! I’ll be sending them tomorrow for sure

[@matthewrooney5438]

Sent the email with some measurements and details dude!

[@WeekendAdventureRides]

Yeah I was just looking at some measurements. I think I can do it pretty easy
