So I found them on a german website, but im sure I can use something similar here in the states cheaper


this website in Az sells them, but at about double the price
http://www.streetfightersinc.com/Headlightkits.htm

also i would like to find clamps like these:



the german site is here:

If you consider that the price on the GSG-Moto site is actually in Euros the price on the StreetfightersInc site is very comparable if you take into account the exchange rate and shipping.  I don't think you will get a better price without looking for something similar from a different manufacturer.

Monsterparts can get you a similar Airblade bracket set (http://www.monsterparts.com/p/SCRUDOM01/Airblade+Custom+Fitted+Flyscreen.html).  The price is not listed but contact Jeff for price as he can special order the brackets.

I just found out about some hydraulic clamps that they use in airplanes called "adel clamps", very similar to those.

Ive got a tech buddy looking into what sizes they come in and ive asked him for some 50mm and 53mm.

Ill let you know what I find out.

^^^You mean you searched.  :D

[laugh]  Yeah.  I was going to leave my usual sarcastic remark about using google or the forum search button but had nothing better to do so googled it myself.   ;D

I personally would recommend looking for a set of Collari / Collarini Reggi Faro:

CNC Racing (cncracing.it)





(They come in different colors also. Just search the "Collari Reggi Faro" or "Collarini Reggi Faro")

Just googled "motorcycle headlight bracket" and found a shitload of others at much cheaper prices:

Thanks for taking the time to do that. I've done a lot of researh or "searching" for them myself, I just havent found any that look beefy enough to hold my headlight and fairing, and fit 50mm forks. I just need the clamps since I'm doing a custom bracket. Plus I'm trying to keep it on the cheaper side of things and I really like the look of those clamps

well, I have to say, I am a fan! the price for what I'd like to do right now is a bit higher than hoped for, but the quality looks superb!

I don't know how these compare, but an alternative.....

Those look like they'd work, but I would need to get two for each fork which looks like it would bump the price up to around 100 bucks just for the brackets


Just ordered these clamps ( http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/ms21919clamps.php ) in 2" and will PC them/and or shim to fill in the extra .8mm (.03inch) 5 bucks shipped

So did this allow you to completely ditch your headlight U-Bracket?

Got the clamps in the mail today, super quick shipping!




I did a quick fit test on my 50mm forks and they fit well, and the rubber cover seems to offer a great amount of friction to keep those clamps on there good and snug. When I get a chance to bolt them up I'll snap some more photos, but for 5 bucks, these seem to fit the bill!
