And a bobber style...
Personally, I would hang the light down from the bracket instead of sticking it up in the air.

1st one is cool.Wish something could be done to minimize the radiator though.The last is what I plan to do with a KZ1000 I have.

Yeah, the radiator is pretty bulky, looks outta place on that chopper.
Looked fine on the bobber tho, maybe they switched to different one?
An engine in the breeze, no fairings around it, might not need such a large rad, maybe sub a smaller one.
Maybe from a 4wheeler or sno mo...

Have one made to fit the shape of the down tubes and out of the bigger oval tube they use in race cars ....with a custom filler at the top and a cap from BE Cool. Use a little shaped alunimum on the sides and bottom and it would look good !
