fork mounted driving lights

[ruruson1]

Does anyone know the name or manufacture or website of the driving lights that mount on the side of the forks. they are not a bar and they mount ( I think) to where your windshield mounts on each side. they come up over you turn signals. I have put the silver bullets on but want more light. any info would be helpful. THanks and ride safe.

I made my own. These are the prototypes, not the finished set, which is uh, not finished yet - but will be soon. The final set will be polished to a mirror finish, and the design has been changed somewhat.

I believe the ones you are talking about are sold by Custom World International (CWI). I have them on my bike.

No offense, but they would be very expensive. With my primitive tools, it takes hours to build them. T6061 aluminum angle is extremely hard and not easy to work with. I'd be happy to post some working drawings if anyone is interested, though. Someone with a flowjet machine could cut them out easily, but I'm sure that would be costly.

I start with 2 pieces of 7" long 3"x3"x.250" angle. I use a sawzall to cut the rough shape, then use files and sanding drums to get them to the final dimensions. Then I wet sand them with 1200 grit paper and then polish with a cloth wheel and aluminum polish.

I could have bought the brackets and lights from Value Accessories, but I decided to build my own as a personal challenge.

I have the CWI'S TOO. Had issues with the halgen bulbs burning out so CWI sent me a sealed beam replacement bulb and I have been running those for well over a year without issues. I believe Trip had the exact same issue.

I put these on my 2006 they are a really clean set up.

CWI here, got them at Scootworks. Cheaper elsewhere but it was an impulse buy....

Got mine on a switch. Run the Kisan headlight modulater during daylight and the billet lights at night.

Yes Please Jack.... I would be working in the same method, so not making a cutting edge part either, or in other words not selling any. But having a drawing would be great at saving some guess work. Mac

You can get fork mounts from motolight, I had them on my Meanstreak. On that bike they mounted to the calipers but think they have a more "northbound" version as well, kinda pricey though if you can;t find them on ebay.
