RE: amber LED fog lights

I love those little lights. I've got that pair on my Bonneville, and had a pair on my last three bikes. Cheap as heck and they run forever. I get them from Ebay, but last time, I went for the cheapest ones I could find. The quality of the casting and hardware was really bad. I put them in my trailer for night lights, but wouldn't put them on a bike. They literally looked like a cheaper knock-off of the knock-off of these... which are a knock-off of nice lights.

Stick with the ones that aren't $10 each and you'll be fine. I was wary of that little lock screw on the base, and loctited mine as well. I still give them a jiggle every now and then to make sure they're tight, and have never had a problem. They are pretty good at heat resistance as well. I had a pair on my last BMW R1200R, on brackets that I made. They stood out from the engine and put the lights about an inch over the cylinders on each side of the bike. Never had a problem with them.

The pair on my Bonneville have been going strong for five years now.

Mounted to the oil cooler... now why didn't I think of that! I put mine on stand-offs I made on the fender mount bolts. Putting them on the unsprung wheel wasn't my first choice, but now that it's done, I'll stick with it. They are out of the way and work fine down there.

...Until I decide to copy your mounting solution, that is. Looks like you just had to fashion some spacers to move the light off of the cooler?
