I spoke with an PIAA rep at homecoming, and he said that they want to make a light bracket specifically for the Uly. He stopped to ask me about my bike with the PIAA 510's mounted and I told him about the Ulytility bracket and how to contact the creator of it. We will see if anything happens.

If you are a DIY guy you can pick up a piece of angle aluminum from the local hardware store and make your own for under $20.

I made a pair out of some scrap flat stock I had laying around the garage. Bent two pieces about 6 inches long 90 degrees, located holes for the signal stalks, drilled and mounted. I powdercoated them black, and mounted hella ff50's on them. I saw this on someones bike from this website, but don't remember whose bike it was. It's been about 2500 miles, with no problems thus far.

If you do any offroading and have a set of PIAA 510's, make your bar pretty robust. I snapped and rewelded my Ulytility bar twice now. I'm in the works of making something a bit more robust. If I had a set of FF50's on there, I don't think it would matter. But I tend to ride off the beaten path and I put the bike through it's paces.

Just something to consider. It is REALLY easy to make your own.
