For one of my GL1100 I made 2 brackets out of 1/8 in aluminium and polished the pieces but I mounted mine using the fender mounting bolts as I want them to illuminate the road as I turn. Living in the country I travel down to many back roads and like to see what road kill is in front of me as I turn.:action:

Do you get a lot of vibration in the lights having them mounted as unsprung weight, on the wheel? I would be interested to see how long the bulb filaments last like that.

The way Sixfore made those has got me to thinking about see how well a couple of 1100 antenna mounts would work for installing driving lights on my bike.
