Headlight and lighting issues help needed!!

[CayoHuesoChoppers]

I just recently built this bike. I am not sure of what headlights that I could either mount on the fork or tire mounts to keep this looking clean. Also I am wanting to find some sort of lighting option toilluminate the wheels and whitewalls, without making the bike look cluttered. Any advice you can give a novice in the customizing field?

There are numerous lights on that site that either mount using ears that attach to the triple tree, or from the bottom. You then rip out the light bulb, install an led along with a double A battery holder and switch. Takes a little time, but you then have a pretty cool light. Or go the easy route and buy one pre-made.

Any advice on a kickstand as my frame sits 3.5" off the ground

block of wood under the pedals ? just make a place to put it under the seat when biking

you can buy mini kickstands for scooters that should work for you! or you can buy a bell brand kickstand that has adjustment holes! get creative! have fun!

For your bike, I like the motor cycle light in the first post. It is exactly what I was thinking of while looking at your bike. You can make a battery box that goes somewhere on your bike for a 12 volt gel cell battery that you recharge.
