Mounting aux lights to the V7 fork?
« on: December 06, 2015, 08:07:55 PM »
If you have aux lights of any kind on your V7 (modern small-block type), please show me your mounts.

Denali D2's - recommended.





However, if you are in North America, you can obtain purpose-built substitutes easily & fairly cheaply. With freight & exchange rates, they become exorbitant. Kuryakin, I think, make something,  the Twisted Throttle ones look as though they may work well, but are expensive. If you are mounting them on the sliders where I have them, there's a clearance issue - no much room between the fork slider & the front sub-frame struts.

PIAA lights mounted on the crash bars of a V7 Classic.  I get very little vibration on the crash bars but my bike has two throttle bodies.  I've read where some have posted re. a lot of vibration on the crash bars with the single throttle body V7's.  Don't know it is the specific brand that's causing that with the STB bikes or if they all do it.  Mine sit nice and steady and work well for keeping drivers from pulling out in front of me due to the triangulated light pattern.

Fabbed up some channels that fit on the front bolts of the fender mount.  Pretty tidy.

All look like good solutions, but, I like this one best!
