These are the ones I'm using on my 900 but I modded them slightly for what I wanted.

Doug -- That link isn't working too good for me.

I went through a struggle with brackets, tried some inexpensive ones to no avail. I found some Euro-streetfighter ones, but they were crazy expensive machined things like this: . ($150 now, I thinkk)

I think searching for some OEM ones from a standard bike with USD forks would be a good idea -- not sure how you tap into 52mm stock offerings, but seems like a good idea to me. Next would be to fab/machine something yourself.

I got some from Lockhart/Phillips a few years back and am planning on making them fit...when I find them...the garage has a few issues at the moment, but anyway, the things look very similar to the ones in the pics above. I got them when I was a parts mgr going to grad school. LP imported them as the writings on the package were mostly Japanese. Not too expensive, either. No where near the $150 mark...if I remember it was probably a $40 retail thing with dealer cost being around 25...just guessing after these years (about 3 years back).

After seeing some cool stuff in Streetfighters I was thinking about having a friend use some round stock aluminum tubing and bend and weld a bracket to the triple and then to the light using stock bolt holes, and just getting longer bolts to fit into the new brackets.
