Someone wanted to know more about the caliper mounts I made - here it is:

Started out with some of these from eBay - 4" aluminum angle brackets:



eBy item: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320263813590

Then went through a couple of iterations of modification before priming them for powder coating: (I didn't prime or powder coat them. A friend did.)




Finished product after powdercoating:




Got the $15 Wally World cheapo fog lights then upgraded them with $8 Xenon yellow H3 bulbs on eBay.

Note that due to their thickness, I replaced the lower caliper bolts with 5mm longer bolts used for the frame mounting.

Installed on Bike (This was an early pic - being a slut foir stainless I changed the mounting screws on the side to stainless button heads.)








On the road:
