Default Can anyone take a picture of their headlight?

High resolution pictures incoming. Beware.

Hi again,

I had a few issues with a Yamaha V-star 1100 classic that I just purchased. Anyway one of the issues is it didn't have a stock headlight, but just a cheap version that didn't fit on the mount for the headlight.

After ordering an OEM headlight I tried to put it on the OEM mount that is mounted to the bike but it seemed like it was too far forward. The headlight is too far forward and is pointing at the ground maybe 4 feet in front of the bike.

I tried taking off the mount and bending it back and it did help but it didn't seem like it was modified to begin with. So I was wondering if I could get some close ups of the mount behind the headlight and maybe the degrees that the front of the headlight has to be at maybe 5 degrees or so. Right now mine is at maybe around 10 degrees and sits on the turn signal bar very heavily.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you want I can post pictures later to show you what kind I am looking for.

Thanks,
