Electronics » Fork tube mounts for aux lights?

I'm thinking of mounting either Denali DM or D2 lights to my bike. it seems that most people use light bars or maybe fender mounts, but I'm not sure I really like either of those options.

Is there any downside to the fork tube mounts Denali sells? I'd have to make sure they clear the fender as the suspension compresses, but it looks like the lights would clear the fairing and radiator at full lock.

Don’t the wires wear out from the constant flexing?

Thanks Fugly. I'll take a look at those.

Maybe worth mentioning that there are good reasons for positioning DRLs so that they add apparent 'height' and 'width' to the profile of an oncoming bike, hopefully making a half-blind car driver more likely to spot you. Given the option of forks or, say, engine bars, I'd go for the bars every time.

I went with these for the RS.

On the R1200RS I had the lights on the fender.
On the R1250RS I decided to use the MaMO mounts.
With the MaMo mounts you don't have to remove the lights for a fork oil change and there's less movement of the lights.

Are those Denali lights? Could you post some close up pics of how the lights mount on the bars?

I gave up on the idea of the fork tube mounts, so it'll be either the MaMO bars or fender mounts.

MaMo bars, Denali d2's mounted. Their controller gives me the option to use the wonder wheel to turn them on and off, the high beam indicator used 3 times in succession gets them flashing/pulsing 3 times then back to steady on. Hit the emergency flashers and the updated led turn signals and D2'd alternate flashing.

Pretty slick set up, done by my mechanic after I handed him all the equipment.
