I'm thinking what with such large forks, twin headlight Ducati (mind the swear word) style might work, but then I have no taste at all.
Here's a link to the guy I got the light off.

And heres the brackets I used (although I don't think they'd fit your forks).

The indicators I got from a bike shop that used to be local to me, but I've seen them on Ebay before. It's a bit tricky to get replacement globes for them though since they have to be amber globes.

You probably wont be able to get a good idea of what headlight will suit it till youve got the rest of the front end together (not a big fan of the twin headlights myself). As I said, I only got the idea after seeing Tono's bike and eventualy did my own version, so I new the style would work, but yours is going to be a fair bit different so have a look at similar style naked bikes with USD's to get a few ideas.

My Tandems currently sitting in the "naughty corner" of the shed after eating that piston and coming down with severe ignition gremlins. :evil: Been focusing on sorting out and fine tuning the KR1 instead, but will get back to the Tandem once I'm happy with the way the KR1 behaves. Think I just needed a break from trying to get it sorted to be honest.
