Modern forks and headlights? was created by Hollywoodmx
What are people doing as far as headlights when they are switching to modern forks. Ive looked at various options and the brackets are pricey... my forks are 51mm.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationMy LTD uses a simple bracket that bolts up with the gages, like shown in the link. Seems pretty tidy.

I dont think I will be using the stock gauges. I definitely wont have the stock triples either. I'm looking more for suggestions on non-stock large diameter forks. Bolting to the lower triple doest seem like an option either. I could get a universal bottom tripple headlight and mount it upside down but I was hopping for a 2 point brace like on the forks to avoid the bobbing headlight.

It ended up being more so I looked for other options but then bit the bullet cause fork mounted I like the best.

Get a piece of tubing that fits tight to the new tubes then take the ears off the outside of 73-78 style brackets and weld them on B)

I hate rattles so I liked the idea of the ones I bought with the rubber inserts.
