I have noticed that in the pics I have seen of the Bradleys that the lights are stationary and the cover doors drop out of the way.My head light covers are like triangular boxes and the headlights are mounted in them and lift up and rotate with the covers out of the body .I would put pics but I am not good on computers and the site says my pics are too large.
The bad thing about this is it is ugly with these big bug eyes sticking up and when you hit bumps your lights jiggle down the road.Is this factory?

Sounds like you have the Sun-Downer pop-up headlights. They were an option. I think they were like $125 extra at the time. I agree - big & ugly. I think a few people have installed linear actuators to improve their function and stability.

Jeff Troy has a really good solution in his disk. it uses short gas struts that push both open to stabilize the assembly and also down to hold it closed tighter.

I just used a stop cable that the wind holds the lights against, it tight and they did a fair job at stopping the bounce.

A bike will keep you young, the wrong bike will stop you from getting older, there is a difference.

Same goes for cars like Bradley's
