Hi All -

I want to mount some driving lamps to my XB12S; I was thinking about either a set of PIAAs or, if possible, some Kuryakyns. Unfortunately, Kuryakyn doesn't make a 54mm mount ('05 XB12Scg has 54 forks, right?). Can anyone tell me a good way to solidly mount a set of small PIAAs to the forks of an XB?

Thanks.

Thanks; they look great. Are they mounted right to the reflectors?

Thanks for the information, Fullpower. I like your setup, but I'm going to check out Motolights before I decide.
