09 K1300GT Aux lighting Fender or Fork

[roamingbeemer]

A question about Clearwater Aux lighting.

Clearwater offers the option of Fender mounting or Fork mounting. I am adding the lights mostly to be more conspicuous so wondering what type of mounting is preferred?

The Fender seems like a more logical mounting location but looking for opinions or any photos of what others prefer. Pros and cons

Thanks

Finally checking this thread (Been riding every day) but no response. I am guessing not many using Aux lighting or not using Clearwater.

Don't have any of this lighting but wouldn't fork mounting be more solid and stable?

Good Point

Is this considered the fender mount? Looks solid to me.

Does the fork mount use the caliper bolts?

Thx for the picture. It says everything. Will order the fender mounted ones.

I ended up using the Fender mount and very secure and can be mounted at just the right height. I am away from home so no pictures but I think the fender mount is easiest and look best.

The "triangle" is bigger the lower you go giving it a miniscule edge for conspicuity.

But for light down the road a higher mount is far superior.

I think you made the right choice for your intention.

I also understand Clearwater has stopped offering caliper mounts but have not confirmed. Though the chances of any problem from this in normal use is slim, I stay way from caliper mounts.
