Anyone mounted the Hellas ff50 lights on an RT? If so how did you do it?

I put a pair on a 97 RT.I made a set of brackets to mount them above the mirrors. I put them up there so I could move them while riding-it`s nice to shine one up the side of the road looking for Bambi when there isn`t much oncoming traffic.I LOVE them up there,and I`m going to put a set on all my street bikes.

What did you make the brackets out of? This seams like a really good idea to me.
I made them out of some scrap stainless I had.I made o mock-up of cardboard for hole locations and basic shape,then had at it with hacksaw & grinder. I used the top & front mirror mount screws.It moves the mirrors out about 1/16"and looks fine. Like I say,the biggest advantage is I can reach up there and move the lights to suit my situation.(my son will post the pics later tonite or tomorrow).I also use the Euroswitch wired off/low beam/low beam& Hellas.

It is what it is.
I mounted mine on eMp Design brackets.
They look like this:
And then the money shot.
When you order them, tell Pat that Bud sent you.

Hella mounts on RT w/ aluminum bracket
I am pretty sure the bracket is stainless metal I got from a scrap pile at a local shop. Not sure of the thickness though.

I sent a note to http://www.blm-accessories.com/ but it doesn't look like they make anything for the 1200RT. We will see, thanks for the input.
