TT250/Hawk Aux LED mounting spots?

ughmas · 04-25-2017, 09:52 PM

Hey guys, I purchased these aux led lights for some extra brightness at night and on the trails... I am having more trouble than I thought I would trying to find a good place to mount them on my TT250

I was going to use the middle fork clamp bolts but then I realized the lights will hit the wings when turning the wheel a large amount, and on the upper bolts the turn signals are in the way. Has anyone found a good spot to mount aux lights on the TT250/Hawk? any ideas?

Thanks

I was going to make a bracket so they would ride just below the turn signals. But I took the plastic body panels off of the tank, so I will probably put them where the reflectors are.

Where'd you get those lights? I like them.

ughmas, I have them on Q and LOVE them. Bright but nice and small. Here's the brackets I did. As always, "use what ya got..."

2LZ, How are you powering the lights? directly off the spare 12v wire behind the headlight or via a relay?

There's the problem. Too much rolling stock and a fading brain. All the projects becomes a blur...

I ran a completely separate switch, and I'm pretty sure I went to ground and I THINK I went straight to either the battery or the start solenoid with the hot with an inline fuse.

I know that I didn't want them through the ignition switch so I could have them on with the bike off,

This was my original plan but the body fins are in the way :( Rojo how did you make your bracket so they hang down far enough?
