Harley fog lights
I'm thinking about getting the HD fog lights. Are they adjustable? The pic makes them look fixed. Al so I could use a few ideas on locating them since I have fairing lowers on and don't plan on taking them off.

I have them on my bike and you can adjust them but I don't think they'll work with lower fairings.Here's how mine looks:http://s270.photobucket.com/albums/j...t=DSC01808.jpg

1. The part of the fairing lower that covers the upper part of the engine guard will have to be cut-off to mount HD fog lamps with fairing lowers on the bike (IMO). And even if you did that, the fog lamps would be so far inboard that they'd light the back of the front fender and little else.
2. The fog lamps clamp on to the engine guard, but they do not pivot left/right; only movement is up or down along the axis of the engine guard. The fog lamp mounting is so thick, there is no way that it could be mounted on the vertical portion of the engine guard with fairing lowers installed IMO--the space between the fairing lower and the engine guard is too narrow for the fog lamp mount.
3. I removed the HD fog lamps when I installed fairing lowers and replaced the lighting with Motolights--an outstanding, though pricey, alternative.

thanks for the input guys. I agree the moto lights are the answer execpt they mount to the brake caliber. I got caliber covers on my bike, so that won't work either.
I think if I munt them next to the hi-way pegs they will fit. I need to think on it a little. Kury is coming out with some lights that will replace the turn signal on the fairing I have to wait and seehow they look.
Thanks again.

I would like to get some as well. I have an auxiliary switch not being used and was thinking it would be good for the fogs, any one know how to tap into it.

I really like the way those look.. I am looking to do the same on my '07 Ultra.. Did you look at the PIAA lights or were you set on MOTOLIGHTS?

I put some Kuryakyn small spot lights on my 04 Ultra on the crash bar and I used the 3 piece clamp for 1" bars. They mounted just fine and they are able to be adjusted up and down and sideways. I have them turned out to the sides to light up the ditch so I can see Bambi better.
