Hi Geo, I realize this is an old post, but do you have anymore pictures of the process and bracket modifications you did to do this? I think that it looks great and agree that Yamaha should have done it from the start. I would like to try to do something similar. I think it would go a long way in "shortening" the tall skinny look of the 920's front end. Thanks in advance.

see the welds?
i used sawed off angle iron for the drop piece.
to lower the head light, i ground the welds for the "tabs" off to get them off then cut the round stock shorter then welded the tabs back on.
