Thank you, sir.
Agreed on the photo, it's fantastic! Love this bike!
Very nice - Reminds me of a photo of a restored Navy Harley I shot for my magazine.
Contemplating ideas on how to utilize the fork's light mount so I'm hacking away at this old bracket from a generator light with a Dremel.
Would it look dumb to add a 2nd light?
I really was thinking about a functional horn but haven't found the right thing, or one that would get here in time.
I removed the visor from this led light and had this cool grill from a cheapo generator light. Maybe I could super glue the grill to the rim? I don't know... I don't feel done quite yet. Really hoping for a miracle huckleberry find at the Royal Oak flea market this Sunday.

Since you refuse to take the bike to Fallon to get photos in front of their CAG jet (ask your son), ask them to fly the CAG bird to your hometown for pictures. I think that's a reasonable request. 
Yay or nay on the 2nd light experiment?
I think if you didn't have the fender light, you could have tilted the bracket down so it followed the curve of the fender, and the grill light would then sit in place of the fender mounted light (approximately). Right now, the grill light kinda covers the headbadge. Can you tilt the bracket down and split the difference between where it sits and the lower light? Kinda stair step it, and see how that looks?
I wish I would have came up with the fork bracket idea before I altered the fender. I wanted to find a cool old round bike horn to put where the black light is.
I may see how the black light looks on the fender too.
Here it is stair stepped
Can you do a head-on shot as well, please? It seems to almost work, but I'm not sold on it. Maybe switch the lights? Large one below, and smaller on the bracket?
How about blackie solo?
Yeah, that looks great.
Thanks for the feedback, Bobby! I appreciate it. Now my photo shoot pics are obsolete
Not necessarily. Keep them, you may end up preferring the original setup. Just do a second shoot, and see what shakes out. I think a single light lokks best, either way.Thanks for the feedback, Bobby! I appreciate it. Now my photo shoot pics are obsolete
I agree, a single light rather than two. I like the coloring of the littler one, but also like the size and lense cover on the larger one.
Looks awesome
Solo blackie looks great. But we need to fix your anchors.
Update: We did a new photoshoot last night, 7/26, and I will be tossing in my greasy towel and calling it finis this afternoon.
