Good Day All

Does anyone have a solution for mounting riding lights on the forks of an X!/S3?

Appreciate any input/suggestions

I've often thought about adding lights to the forks. A friend had some small PIAA lights on the forks of his M2. But that was many moons ago. I'm not sure how he attached them or ran the wiring.

The wiring is not an issue.

Finding a pair of mounts is what we need to determine.

The diameter of the tuber measures 1.904"

Someone has to have a mount already made

I have Moto Lights on my S3T.They are attached with strap mounts.This works on Buells because of the single caliper.

49 mm is the closest size, .025 bigger, should work.
