Carbon Fiber Dual Morimoto Mini H1 Retrofit

I replied to your PM, but I'll post here for the guys following the thread. On that metal bracket, the top section where you see that "half circle" that is supported by the 4 "ribs" have to go. You need to trim all that off and you'll be left with a round opening for the H1 to poke through when you mount the bowl with the projector already in it. If I remember correctly, I had to also cut even more metal to widen this opening because that front of the projector was not going in far enough in the metal bracket to allow the bowl to go back in to its original position so I could secure it with the screws.

Few progress pictures. I haven't sanded the carbon down, sort of considering leaving it as is due to how well it looks. I got the iris shroud almost done, I either need to take a little more off it or the epoxy to have a little wiggle room. The bulk of the work is done at least. While I didn't take a picture, I did work on the metal bracket for the lower projector.... MAN, mabupa, you're not kidding with how much needs to be done to this piece to get a projector to fit. I got all the tabs on the inside removed, but still not quite there to get the projectors to fit. I got side tracked putting the bike back together. As much as I wanted to get headlight done before putting it back together, I wanted to ride it even more.

Now for the good stuff. I test fitted the carbon shroud and fits perfectly as it is. :) Of course, I also install the Morimoto XSB switchback demon eyes, they're a tight fit there. I may not be able to use them though, having those attaching bolts to the bowl gets in the way of using the OEM bowl to mount it in. I'll either have to remove for find an alternate way to mount the lower projector.

Iris shroud trimmed on the bottom. I've trimmed the top but didn't get a picture.

This is the metal piece where I had to get rid of all the "fingers" inside it.

Not totally sure, I'm bad at judging distance. I do know the bottom projector is aimed higher than the top one, tho I'm positive they're both sitting like they should. I may try to swap the bulbs around, but don't think it's going to be easy unless. I remove the fairings again.

Looks nice did you wire up the halo rings. What shround did you use.

I didn't have halo's, I had demon eyes. I wanted to use the orange ones for DRL, but it just wasn't bright enough for me to feel safe. I did get the light adjusted last night and thought I had it good, but it appears I made it too high although no one flashed me.

what shround did you use, I have a extra headlight i may do another retro on.
 
No beauty shots, I was planning on getting some yesterday but ended up raining all day. Here's what I took when reassembling it all.

I like the color of your gauges. Blue LEDs on OEM gauges? I went with the white face illumiglo, but also considered going this route.
