Fork mounted LED DRL
I've got an orange reflector on the fork from standard and wonder if anyone has used this fixed point to mount a LED DRL. There doesn't seem to be many solid lights you can mount sideways that does the job. Anyone tinkered with that idea?
Re: Fork mounted LED DRL
Since all my other bikes have had handlebar lights, it felt weird on this one not to have light going into corners. Found these little lights on ebay:

He has them in chrome as well for a few $ more. Drilled out the reflector mount to 10mm and mounted the lights. I wanted them to come on all the time, so I wired them direct. Didn't want to mess with the hi/lo issue of tying them into the headlight circuit, so I used the tail light circuit. They work great, lit up the dark garage nicely, can't wait 'til tonight to try them out!
