Freak-I have a question for ya. When I talked to Kurynkn about the 49mm light clamps, the guy told me the threads were a course thread versus the fine thread on the blinkers? He said the clamps were for there lights not the stock blinkers, What's up? Did you have to do something different to mount the blinkers? Thanks, Eric

I don't think Freak caught all your question. The factory threads are different,you'll have to get a different bolt or use the factory allen head bolt but it protrudes too far out into the inner side of the clamp. I just ground the head at an angle til it cleared,leaving barely enough to get a grip with the allen wrench.The mating surfaces aren't the same,you'll have to use a spacer like Freak said or do like I did and trim a rubber piece off an old fuel line clamp I had laying around and got nearly a flush mount out of it.

Hope I didn't confuse things further.

Good Luck

Phreak,I think I just realized why your bolts wouldn't go all the way in,the coarse thread will force in for a ways but then bind on the fine threads.

Good Luck

Yup. That's exactly it. I hunted around in my big ol' bag o bolts phor something that would phit, didn't phind any, but I did phind the spacers, so I went that route. Maybe someday I'll look phor some different bolts, but phor now it's working out phine.
