With a chrome headlight shell, another option might be a chromed KZ900-B1 bracket, which to some folks may seem less noticeable.

Will that fit a 650? Mine uses the two speedo/tach mount bolts and a bracket on the bottom that doubles as a mount and an adjustment lock.

Had never thought about whether the KZ900-B1 bracket would be a bolt-on fit to the KZ650, until the possibility was mentioned by Locozuna earlier in this thread.

This is my 76900LTD it has a pretty sturdy headlight mount that is kind of minimal. Shows off more of the tube. My bro built her but I think it's a stock mount. He even got another one off e-bay and put it on the 650 if I remember right. There is also one like it but with chrome wire used on 550LTD's that would work.

Tried modifying the stock ones, but there isn't a way to move them back to the bike more without cutting the wire ears. I'll have to keep my eyes out for one of the kz900 ones.
