Maximum's setup is the brightest I have ever seen. A bunch of us were sitting around in the Sheraton parking lot one night during the 25th when he ignited his lights, and it was as if the sun had risen . They are some kinda bright. I personally have the motolights mounted on my fork tubes where the stock reflectors were, but I don't have any pictures of them. They also seem to work very well lighting up the road as well as getting cagers attention,

There are some amazing setups posted here. I'm jealous. Here's my input though:

I've wondered too how some lower profile aux lights would work simply being mounted to the turn signal stems?

It works great! Here's my $14 Walmart 55 watt blasters mounted to my turn signal stalks. They've been going strong for a year now.

Bcdaum:

What mounts did you use for the Motolights?

Strap or fender mounts?

Thanks

I used the strap mounts just below my lower triple clamp, and they work very well there.

+1 on using slider mounts (x2 = XB9S and XT)

On my 9S, been using them for over 20K miles, no issues, including two crashes.

On the XT, just under 3K with no issues.
