Custom Driving Light Bracket on Front Forks

[Musman]

Does anyone have suggestions for custom front fork fog/driving light brackets? I know there are brackets for mounting near the mirrors, but I prefer to have my lights mounted off my front forks. I built a custom bracket myself for my Hella Micro Fog Lamps, but after two years of riding...it snapped today while on a ride.

Before I go to the work of making another bracket, I thought I'd see if someone knew of a custom bracket that's available that looks better and is more sturdy.

I bought these fender bolt mounts about a year ago and can try to find them

another forum member saw mine and we tried to find them and it was very difficult

I may be putting up my fork lights for sale in the next weeks or month

I want to replace them with Clearwater LED lights which are brake caliper mounted

I'll check with Glenn at Clearwater Lights...he may have changed his fork lights from caliper to fender

Might be able to get mounts somehow...

Cheers,

Mike in Nawlins'

Thanks...I like the brackets you have...now if I can just find some place that sells just those, without having to purchase the lights as well...

Not any more. His new mounting system for the Glenda style lights is on the front fender bolt. It's simpler and more universal, so one bracket works for more applications, an advantage when putting them into dealerships' hands, for one thing. I like that they're more "inboard" now, less vulnerable if something happens (we don't want to say "if your bike falls over" or anything). Don't have a pic of mine yet, but see his website, click on the "Gallery" tab. That first shot, on a Triumph Tiger, is about how the new FJR setup looks. Possible he'd sell a pair of brackets, tho I don't know. Can't hurt to ask. You'd love the lights with 'em though.

I called Clearwater...they don't sell brackets by themselves.

+1. Purchased a set of these brackets last fall to mount PIA 1100XX off the front forks. Pricey but nice.

Here's some pics while at Clearwater during the install of my fender bolt mounted Glendas.

Sweet -- both the Glendas and those Creative Concept mounts. I have caliper mounted MotoLights, but that fender mount looks like less hassle. You don't have to re-aim every time you change tires or pads.

I have a set of Glendas and Kristas on the way

Clearwater mirror mount lights are Kristas and fork lights are Glendas

Guess I'll be selling my current fork/fender bolt light setup
