I have a question, does anyone have tips on how to mount the headlight in combination with a classic cafe racer fairing? It looks like the headlight needs to be placed forward more than without the fairing. I've searched for brackets, but no luck...

Thanks

There are universal mounts available, you may need to modify them. If for your 750 they are 36mm. Don't forget to use rubber mounts.

I remember the 'Hackaweek' guy fitted a universal caferacer fairing on his sabre project.

I dont remember which episode but you can flip through them til you find it or,watch the whole build. Very interesting and somewhat meditative to sit and spend a Sunday afternoon watching someone else doing the work. One of the better quality build videos out there.

Edit; Try around episode 25

With my fairing and headlight, both are mounted to a metal frame.
The headlight is much further forward than stock:

I had a Suzuki quarter faring on Bossie when I had the wreck. Shards of jagged plastic cut the hell out of me. :whistle:
