Bought some led aux lights for my big ktm and needed a way to mount them up.

Drew up a shape and cut it out of card board. Measured it and drew it up in cad



And then set about machining it yesterday.







Did the install today-





I tried the low mount but decided I didn't like it as much.



They're also strong enough to support my 210 pounds of fury [evil]

Nice work! As an added bonus, with the lights removed you've got some serious stunting potential  [laugh]

Very nice work and great looks.  Patent the shit and sell the hell out of them.

I'd love to sell them but I don't think something like this would get a patent.

Nice work.
No one could argue with their strength.
Extra lighting help spot deer, other road hazards, etc?

Claim: a road lighting device that is attached to the front of a motorcycle for the purpose of identifying road hazards, the curvature of the road, indicating the existence of that motorcycle to other motorists, and acting as a step-ladder in the garage.  ;D

It weighs 460 pounds and I've had it airborne on concrete ;D

This can't be as bad.

Its all about vectors
the force of a jump is in line with your forks
you standing on those mounts is a pressure on the walls of the forks
