I have a nice new flyscreen (thanks AndyP) but I know the old style monster won't take it without a couple of changes.

The silly indicator stems fitted to top yoke are in the way, and there's some odd lug thing that's meant to go on the headlight brackets.

Can anyone tell me what goes where or what needs changing, even better does anyone have some pictures of one fitted, taken from the inside??

Thanks all.

Dunno if it helps but I've got some old-type brackets you can have, in the garage somewhere.
Probably easiest to just make up new ones from scratch, especially for a man of your creative talent.

Making the brackets is easy, knowing what they attach to is the hard bit.

Hi Dave, the brackets are welded to the U bracket between top & bottom yokes. a rubber mount is screwed into each headlight bracket
