Where can I find these headlight brackets?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Wow Alex is that your bike it looks well tidy?
Oddjob:
Has that had a turbo fitted?
I don't think that's Alex bike as he still hasn't sorted the indicators out yet to my knowledge. Plus it's a K3 and Alex has an F2.

Thanks! These look like they could do the job. I just saw a lot of brackets with holes in them and other silly looks, and those on the bike in the picture came a little nearer to a stock look without being it.
I’ve also considered a Bates style headlight, but not sure how to fit it, and would rather not drill into the yoke or anything like that. Does anyone know what kind of assembly those headlight take?

Uh no, not my bike. This is one from the US forum I think, just liked the brackets because they had an OEM look, and wanted to see if I could source them.
Here is a picture of my bike. Looks normal enough. On closer inspection though, the chrome is pretty beat up, there is holes in the fender etc. But I wanted it to run good before I make it look good. So went through the engine first. Now I am starting to try and do the cosmetic work. I decided not to do a restoration, but more like a resto mod, as it is hard sourcing all the original parts. But I like the OEM look, so trying not to stray too far from that. Need fenders, signal lights and front and back lights, and a new paint job, and then we are looking pretty good I think. So working on it over the winter (like everybody else I assume). Right now I just wanna ride it a bit and see how the engine runs after I went through it 😊

Just use your honda headlight. If you scroll down this link, you will find pictures of my black 550 with those headlight brackets. http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,24825.75.html
