Really cool. I would go down on shackle size, ditch the small light make two big lights and two shackles of appropriate size with the flood bar on top. Killer build!

I like the asymmetry, but I would mash that low hanging light on a rock immediately. If you're not using your bumper like a 5th tire though it's probably fine.. Nice fab work too!

Sorry I have not replied... I teach high school and the year has just started... So a little busy:-)
Thank you everyone for your responses and opinions ether way...
I just did not want the same thing different day bumper... And I kind of like the BMW bike:-)
I know it is not for everyone, but I do not nor ever have liked being like everyone... So, I wanted something different, and to me very cool looking... I think I have achieved that ...
As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder:-) ..
And beyond that.. The quality of the build is amazing... The front large light is fully incased in a steel tube.. The only way it will ever break is a direct head on into the glass..
Here is a video to give some more detail:-)

That work is just awesome. You got some nice machine shop tools going on there to do that kind of fabbing. You see that dirty shop rag you got in the picture....Yeah, that's about the best I could do in comparison. 
It would be nice to see some pics of the light spread patterns from those different front lights you got going on.
What are those red round things you got behind it? Speakers?

Looks super rad. Definitely an awesome family project. I absolutely dig the light setup. Definitely that BMW feel to it. I've got some KC cube floods so I imagine those you have turn night to day.
Awesome work!
Awesome work!
