Topic: Turn signal lights mounting options for these headlight mounts???

[jasonseasen]

Hi,
I recently got this set of headlight mounts and wondering about options for mounting turn signal lights, seeing as these do not have holes to allow connecting. Anyone have any pics of set-ups or braces they used?
Thanks,
Jason

I was thinking about getting the same set...where did you get those from?....how much?

I would just drill a hole on the side and mount them.

I have those for my project too. THey along with most, will allow for you to stick the signal stem thru the headlight mount hole, thread it into the nut that holds the headlight on, has the ground wire on it. YOu'll have to tighten the stem first with the lamp loose on the stem. THe chance of the lamp being in the position you want when the stem is tight is remote. Stock lamps or any with a 10mm stem.

I consiodered drilling a hole  but those ears are really nice and I didn't want to mess them up. I had mine chromed, even though they came with a high polish on them, they were duller than my chrome headlight shell.

Thanks MCrider, do you have pics of the lights installed onto the headlight mount?

Nope, if plans work out I'll be mocking up that part this weekend. I post pics to my build thread which is in my signature. If this thread is still around I'll post here too.

Nice, thanks MCRider. I am a bit far from adding it, just currently planning parts. I will keep watching your build thread.

I've got them posted to my build thread, but here's a few.
Here's the concept



And here's the mock up with the headlight.

i am running those same mounts on my project, i also had the idea to drill a hole through them to mount the the turn signals since the head light mounting holes were a lot bigger diameter then my turn signal stems,
   in the end i decided that im just not going to mount signals on the front for now, im still looking for some that i really like (i really like the clean lines of not having anything up there.
  btw, i got mine from Mikes XS

Nice looking so far Nokrome, like the frame color.

I also would like to go sans signals, but mine is for street use, and I need them at night to be legal.  I've bot these minibullets which really hug up close.

Back to the OP, if you scroll way down you'll see what's called "P" clamps. These could be used to mount signals lower on the fork tube, as low as the lower tree, or even below the lower tree, so they wouldn't detract from the headlight area so much.
