I just installed my front marker lights on the triple tree. Now I can't decide if I like them up high on the trees or down low....so here is a poll, vote high or low based on these pictures.

I personally hate those lights no matter where they are , are they really necissary? besides being "illegal" if you don't have them?

low for shure shu

LOW looks best

Low he'ah.

Go Low Shu!!!:D

Good Lookin Scoot!!!!:clap :clap :clap

I gotta go with low, for me its a safety issue. From the lower position, your signal can be seen no regardless of frontal attack angle. but thats me

Nice bike
I REALLY like the clean simple look ya got goin on there
Looks SHARP
LOVE the horn cover

Low keeps a more balanced look.

Boy, this poll is a close one.... :D

Low is the way to go...like your bikes whole look...what a beauty!!!

I like the low look a lot better then high. BTW, bikes looking pretty nice.

I like them low. Just looks better to my eye.

The bike looks great!

Low
I love what you've done to the bike, especially the NOS, and the custom look of the install.
Shu, what kind of seat is that?

I went low w/ the smoke lenses.

Me say Low....................................
Swankster
nice ride

Thanks for all the compliments on the bike. The NOS is sort of a half bred system:) Mostly Holley NOS brand and two parts Edelbrock. I have never been this excited for spring...not even when I did the 1200 conversion a couple of winters ago.

I moved the light back down to the low position as I think from the front it made the forks looked lowered even more than they are. The nice thing about the way I ran everyhting is that I can switch them from control mount to low mount to high mount in a matter of minutes. But I think they will stay low.

Stupid groundhog and him seeing his stinking shadow!

did you wire that up to your horn, with a switch to turn it from horn to nitrous? One of the systems that I was looking at way back when had that as an option.

Yes. There is a switch on the back of the side cover that activates the nitrous system. It basically turns on the electric fuel pump (wet system is a MUST for a carbureted Sportster) and then powers up the solenoids and switches the horn button from horn to hang on:) To stop the flow of nitrous, you simply release the horn button. Then reach down and turn the rocker switch on the back of that side cover off so there are no accidental NOS shots.

According to the poll results it looks like Shu is going on the down low :wonderlan

i looked forever to find em in the first picture lol... i like em low better imo.

Looks good. Mine are a different style, put them up.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/seanile/100_0097.jpg

I like them low MUCH better. :smoke

Gee looks like low lights are the popular choice by a landslide!!!! Whats that old saying,, There's no lights, like low lights..... har har

I like them either low. or centered between the upper and lower pinch bolts so they are ligned up with the headlight.

I have my LED set low, however, I've recently added a tool pouch below the lower section of the triple tree... now I'm getting partial blockage of the lights.

Consider that if you're thinking of adding a standard tool pouch in the near future or for longer hauls.

J.W.

I voted low. I guess you may get better vis if they were high, but noone see's us anyway!

LOW! :cool:

Still not made your mind up Shu?

Here's another LOW vote.

another lowwwwwww........... :wonderlan

Dang 91 to 20 something....I should have replied earlier, I put them low a while back and like them from every angle except from the riding position. Maybe I'm just not used to them sticking out there, but they look like some little wings sticking out there when I am riding....I keep expecting the front end to get lift off if I go fast enough:)

I have some pics of mine low I had them high for a long time then I got bored one day and said what if and well You can figure it out from there

I still can't see them...

I like them high it gives your front end a cleaner look. Nice scoot by the way.

hey Shu-haven't seen you here much lately.
Are the lights still low?
They do look better that way.

I have mine installed on the lower leg at the fender mount. I like them that low as they are not cluttering up the top.

Bob

i say high, but that is just 'cause I had to choose. It really looks good either way

I'd need to see them from a straight on shot to actually have an opinion.

hey Shu-haven't seen you here much lately.

I have not been on here much lately. Other things have been keeping my attention lately. Hopefully I'll find time to get back on here more often in the near future.

The lights are still low. I think they look decent low from most angles. I do not like being able to see them sticking out when I am riding though. To me they look like little wings out there on the front forks lol. But maybe I just have to get used to them. I will leave them low for now. If I don't get used to them sticking out like that, I am going to build my own brackets that will keep them right up against the forks ;).

low..
i just did mine with smoke lens kit....used the drag specialties 33mm relocation kit lost the spacers and cut down the bolts....I also modified some 2006 softail duce signal stand off...(about 2" shorter than sportster piece)

sure love the view from your driveway!!!!!

I vote low, but mine hang from the handle bar, so what do I know? :D

sure love the view from your driveway!!!!!


It is pretty peaceful out here. The only thing is that there are a lot of deer.

I will be one of three and say in the middle in line with the headlight.

Deffinatley low is the way to go shu.

I'm thinking I'm the odd one here, but I think they look better high - I don't like things sticking out from the forks.

In my opinion, they look better high as it makes the forks appear longer but at the end of the day, it depends what look YOU'RE after. I thought the idea of of customising was making your bike look how you want it?

Nice looking bike though - with the indicators high!

nice looking bike - i voted low - i mounted mine low - i'm thinking about going with a smaller lights - t

Shu,
Is that the stock mounting block on your headlight ? If so, could you give me an idea about how tall it is. I just switched my eyebrow mounted headlight to a tree mounted similar to your but I need a taller mount. Yours looks to be about just what I need but I can't bring in the pic close enough to get a good look without it getting blurry. If it is stock and tall enough I'll just order one through Harley for your bike. I've searched everywhere and can't find anything over 1.25" tall. I was thinking I may have to have a machinest make me one until I saw yours.

Your signal lights look the best in the lower position IMO.

My headlight and mount are stock. Here is a better picture:

I like the low as well. When I first looked at the first picture at the top of the page, I thought, man, that is the biggest "Sissy" bar I have ever seen. I then figured out it was the basketball goal :D

Need 'em low, so you have a good spot for the clip-ons! :D

I didn't like them high at first. I was going to go low, but I put on the smoke lenses and they pretty much disapear. I am leving them high.

I like um up high.. i may be biased though......

Another vote for the 'smoked lenses', down low. :smoke

http://dogsdoom.com/PI/1200-frontsignals.jpg

Went with low.


Just looks cleaner to me.

If nothing else, you can try what I did... this is the second bike I have taken small torpedo sigs and mounted them to the head light bucket to get them out of the way and off the forks and bars....
My Sporty with them mounted low -

Nice job on the Sporty. I like the high mounted headlight. It makes the bike look bigger. And the turn signals look correct. Whats that second bike?

I like em high.

I voted high. Of course, I did the same thing when I moved mine....

Well, guess what.....The little chrome brackets from MidUSA (I think) broke and the left one ended up dangling next to the bike LOL. Anyway, they are once again mounted up under the mirrors. One thing about my bike is that it never stays the same long....either it removes what it doesn't like or I do LOL

Low gets done for me shu

Mine are low....in the bottom of a box in the closet.

Good looking bike!:banarock You have excellent taste in motorcycles! Go low!:smoke

LOOOOWWWWW !!!!!

I would have to say low. Hopefully I get my mounts for Christmas so that I too can mount my lights low.

Wayne

low is the way to go....

I would agree with what most people are saying. Go low, that is where I placed mine and really like them there.

Low for sure but you could loosen your retainer ring and straighten up the
lamp position a little........LOL

:tour

I've voted low as well. I moved mine down to the lower triple tree and it really cleaned up the top of my bike.

I voted low ........BUT if you want it to be ur own bike do what you want and who cares what others think!;) and why isn't there a vote for rippin' those thing off???:D :D :D
