I picked up a headlight mount from Pandemonium Custom Cycles for the bike I'm working on. I wanted to show how easy it is to mount this up. The photos are pretty self explanetory. Mount up the bottom tree in a vice and drill the existing threaded holes with a #7 (7mm) drill bit. Spray some cutting oil in the new holes and thread with a 5/16-18 threaded tap. Clean up the new threaded hole with an air compressor and test fit the new headlight mount. If you have the tools and cutting oil, it's a 5 minute job. While I had the bottom tree in the vice I went ahead and lifted over the bottom tree rubber seal and tapped off the lower race. A couple of taps on top and a couple of taps on bottom with a big screw driver and ball peen hammer was all it took.
