For Conspicuosity. I have searched the threads, want to have more triangular light print than putting them on the light bar under the headlights, looked at the reflector boss - 5 mm bolt, the fender mount - 6 mm bolt, plus the possibility of crushing the fender mount tab when tightening. Then I saw the axle is hollow. What would be wrong with running a 5/16th or 3/8th bolt all the way through and mounting the LED's on the ends? What am i missing, besides adding to unsprung weight?

Here is what my lights look like. They are Hella driving lights mounted on/via the fender bolts...

Many of the riders that group rode with me since I put these on can't stop talking about how much more noticeable my bike is now.

One can argue with the study and/or think differently than myself on the this subject, but anything that may help me minimize the risk of riding a bike is worth pursuing. And I really dig that look on my wee!
