Virago Headlight - Donor for Bobber/Rat bikes?

For those Bobber/Rat bike folks.....you might consider the Yamaha Virago headlight.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-Yamaha-XV700-Virago-Headlight-YHA-169-with-Mount...

It looks like the mount could be adapted pretty easily, and eBay has a lot of them for sale. They are most likely much better quality than the cheap aftermarket ones, and they use an H-4 bulb....so you would have a good selection of "Retina Wrecker" bulbs to install.

Is this safe? I would assume drilling a small hole probably won't affect any kind of structural integrity..but asking to check. Been looking for a nice vintage yellow light.
