All great posts above. Yes you can drill the bottom tree &amp\\; install any bottom mount light you need. There is lots going on in the lighting industry. I own 2 bikes &amp\\; I am putting on a pair of Adjure 3" spot lights &amp\\; 1" Led Beacon lights (turn/running)

I am also using a 5 3/4" headwinds w/HID. I plan on mounting and centering them on the fork tubes and level with the center of the headlight along with flush. I plan on making a mount to incorporate the turn signals that are parallel with the forks (swept froward).
