Made for the 1800 Wing but look like it might be doable. Just curious, wish I had a set to experiment with cuz I'll bet a lot of I/S owners would do it if they could be made to fit.

The inside of the OE pods are marked/scored for round holes (to be cut out) for the OE light rubber gaskets.

Now if the pods could be cut wider and rectangular, it might work.  Measure twice cut once, those pods get expensive to replace.

And I bet the internal mounts are different too and that's also likely a problem.

Right Jess, that's why I was hoping one of our rich retired atty's would like to spend that kind of $$ as an experiment. That's so the rest of us could benefit.  2funny Wink

Well, I am retired, but I'm far from rich. 

I really like the pod lights, but rather than hunt them up and pay a crazy premium, I spent all my money on simple quality bolt on lights. 

So my pods remain virgin on both interstates.  As far as I know anyway.    Smiley

If I ever get to retire I would sell Stan's bike and snatch up an f6b  do not know if the lights would fit

The way taxes are so high here I will probably be at Jess' poverty level pretty darn quick

Jess, I had a wise guy answer but decided against it. You can probably guess!  Wink
