Seasons Greetings everyone,

I bought myself a set of driving lights with a blue Led light ring. Not sure if I will use the blue Led's yet will see.

Every type of mount I came up with made it look like Uncle Tom's tractor :-(.

So I pulled the lights apart and made a very simple aliminium tube extention that picks up on a 6 mm bolt hole under the indicator frame. Nice and deep and solid allowed a good length of threat to hold these reletively light, spots in place.

The mount is just a piece of alluminum tube with a broon stick handle core to take the load. I shaped one end to be concave domed to allow for light movement up and down. All I have to do is wire it up now.

I will look over past posts for best relay and pick up point to wire them into the system.

I wanted a good triangle of light to add to my on road visability.

I think it looks pretty good. Total cost $50.00 for the lights and maybe a relay later.

Happy New year
to you all.

Cheers

Looks good. Hard to tell from pic but watch that clearance between light and front fender.

Great point. They look great and seem to have a lot of clearance, but one pot hole that bottoms out the front end and you might have a problem.

Thanks Guys looked it over again and I have only 80mm clearance and teh fork travel is 120mm to the stop.

I will have another look at shifting them outwards 2inches or so both sides, that should do it.

Cheers and Happy New Year.

Many thanks to Pheonix9 and FlaMike, I liked their suggestions and agreed with the possible impact of the fender on a heavy fork depression.

So I made a small modification on the Driving Lights to set them out away from the fender. I think they actuially look better. I nice piece of Stainless strip approximately 2 inches by 1 inch a 6mm hole each end and another spacer and it looks much beter. I think it will give a good triangle of light now!

So I am now ready to wire up, I think I can tap into the light switch though the headlight bucket hook in a relay and away we go ;-).

Happy New Year.

Finally finished the installation and as you can see I thin they look pretty good and further more the triangle of light works well.

Wired to a relay I installed in the headlight bucket.

Cheers
