Default Mag-light holder on harley fork?

Do they have a flashlight/maglight holder that will attach the a front fork? It's not something I'd keep there, but for a trip I have planned, it would be an awesome place for one. Also, my maglight, 4D flashlight is silver... not quite chrome, but would still be cool for my needs.

To my knowledge, no.

I would imagine if you hit a pot hole the filament in the light bulb would break. I'm all for carring a flashlight, but don't think that is the best place.

Not a maglight, but I got one of these w/magnetic holder. Nice for bagger because it plugs into lighter & holder comes in handy when wrenching in dark spots.

You can get a belt holder for them, they work great as a self defense weapon if needed since its legal to carry

Lowe's and Home Depot sells mounts that will hold a mag-light. I don't know what they are called but heres a link to the same type of mounts I'm talking about. Since they hold a fire extinguisher they ought to hold a flashlight as well. They are zip tied on so no damage and not permanent. I would suspect with an unlocked mag light in such plain view like the forks, it would be swiped off the bike the first time you look a leak. I saw them in the same section they sell brooms and mops as they probably are used to hang that stuff as well.

^^^Or if you want to one up that, you can spring for a Surefire. A little off topic I know, but my smaller Surefire tactical flashlight will fit in my solo bag easily. I've had quite the collection of flash lights in my time, and Surefire is by far the best I've ever seen...if not the best period.

Back on topic: You can probably get one of those holders to put a mag-light on your forks...I just don't think that I would. Not sure the road jarring's going to be the best for your bulb.

I would go LED if you are going to mount a light there. I would probably just get a smaller light and leave it in the tool bag

BTW doesn't some biker gang carry those as a "kill light"?
