Skwerl58 702 #1 Posted September 1, 2020 I ordered a pair of headlight bezels from a vendor that advertises here for my 414-8 and installed them today. I also repainted the black on the hood with Rustoleum gloss black. I replaced the hood shaft with bolts and plastic washers to firm it up and stop the rattles. I cut the washers from a plastic oil can and they work great. I try to take care of this Horse and it is a super dependable machine. 11 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skwerl58 702 #3 Posted September 1, 2020 I need to repair the wiring to the lights. The wiring has some areas where it had worn to expose the wire. I will fix the angle when I do the wiring. I like the angle, gives it a "mean look". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My 310-8 lights look a lot like that, and I've never been able to keep them straight for very long, they always loosen up. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skwerl58 702 #5 Posted September 1, 2020 I am going to use some silicone gasket maker. Just a drop on the tabs that hold the lights in place. I think that it would hold them. When you need to replace them a firm tug and twist should break it loose. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheelhorse2007 14 #6 Posted February 28, 2023 If you put the bulbs in correctly, there's a tab on the bulb that fits into a cutout on the sheet metal mount. Also make sure your mounting tabs are snug. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
