found some stainless rod that fit in like a bike indicator stem, cut a short bit and drilled down center with 5mm, tapped it with a 6mm thread. put a stainless allen bolt with chromedome to clamp rod into the light then drilled the guard support with 6mm hole and a short allen bolt into the end of the stainless rod. looks reall neat. 500mm from floor and 290mm from furthest outside. [took little bracket off top mount and put coach bolt back in]

called at the stainless shop today to pick up some gear and got the owner to bend me some plates to mount the rear led lights and protect them from spray from the rear wheels. mount them tomorrow hopefully and more photos.

big problem now zakboy is getting the hand clutch lever sorted, got to admit iv been putting it off......  exhaust and rad will be easy enough. got to have some sort of flexi on exhaust or can i redo engine and box  mounts solid and have solid exhaust.  "discuss"... thinking of having a curved stainless plate round top of yolks and mounting some warning lamps in with a built in side lamp facing forward. would cover up ignition block now head lamp lot lower down.
