Where to mount LED bullet lights?

[671M900]

Get an appropriate size for the section of the forks that you're mounting them on, available at a home depot:

Any luck?  I purchased the same thing and am leaning towards mounting them on the masters

Any guide to wiring them?

 

Where on the masters? I haven't mounted mine yet, but I'm still trying to find a way to mount on the fork.
Besides the supplied instructions, Webbikeworld has a long review on the bullets and the PodMod modulator.
I plan to splice into the small parking light wires.

Thanks - could work, but I'd be surprised if they remained flat enough to mount the LED on. The securing bolt might also get in the way of the light......

Well, the signal light is threaded on the end of the stalk with a nut right? I believe the clamp that big has the hole fairly large...

If not, you just need some short aluminum stock, maybe 2 inches, to go downwards, and bolt on the signals.

Ok - this is for BikeVis LED bullet lights - not turn signal lights.
They glue on a flat surface (about an inch long) with a center hole for the wires.

something like this of any use?  >>  http://www.motostrano.com/cltusimo.html

sorry, I thought they were the ones in the first picture. My suggestion still stands, you could cut some small aluminum stock, bolt it to the clamps, bolt on the outside of t forks, and put a small 90 degree bend forwar or back to fit the lights.

You're right - I can do that with both clamp versions.
Are "yours" stainless?

No, they are zinc electroplated steel. Stainless would be too brittle to allow the clamp to flex.

I use the clamps as headlight bracket mounts and so far they've been rust free.

I took another look at some photos (bike is not here) and found another solution.
(take a look at your bike and tell me if I'm wrong)

The air deflector plate, under the lower triple, sticks half way out behind the fork (right?).
If I can find a piece of metal, paint it and glue/bolt it on there - twist it to horisontal and stick the bullets to the ends -
it might even hide them a bit more (not looking quite so ugly)

Is this an idea?

[Jarvicious]

As far as sticking them to the reservoirs goes, if yours are any where as leaky as mine (even after new seals) they probably won't stick too well.

Found a place, had 2mm aluminum brackets made, bolted down and spent some time connecting.
I can tell by the level of attention that they work as advertized

Is there any reason you shouldn't clamp lights to the bars of the trestle frame? obviously out of the way of the front end's radius, but that's about as wide as you could get. I'm looking into getting or making clamps to put some PIAA LEDs  there on my monster... I wanted more light and something that tracked with the frame, not the front end.

It's common to want them in the direction you're turning, but maybe it doesn't matter much...

My lights are not there for better viewing - they're there to be seen, so it's important to make the light triangle as wide as possible.
