Dan, For whatever reason I wasn't able to see your pictures, it may just be my work computer so I will check again when I get home. That sounds like a pretty simple solution. Have you run in to any problems with your setup?

The only issue I had was the speedo cable. Mine was way too long to begin with though. I went to my Kaw dealer with my too long cable and after some convincing I asked them to find me one 6" shorter. After about 10 minutes they had one for me. No clue what bike it was from but the Kaw part number I believe is 54001-1123.

I have Cafe bars (might switch to clip-ons soon) and I'm 6'3" so I can see the gauges fine. I'm going to have to fabricate or modify the headlight mount in order to make it all work.
Most of the folks like DanOZ who have flipped their gauge bracket to lower the gauges have just used the stock headlight mounting brackets to lower the headlight as well.
Basically all you need to do is remove the brackets from the fork tubes, turn them upside-down, and then switch sides with them (right to left, and left to right) to lower the headlight assy.
