I've always dreamed of having caliper mounted lights on my bike, I wanted them very down low to light up the road at night and to give me more visibility to oncoming traffic.
The only real place to get something like this is motolights, but at an astoundingly GREEDY price of $475 it just was not worth it.
Anyhow I got a local machinist to make the caliper adapters, I think they look MUCH sharper than the motolights ones and are polished stainless. The adapters ran me 50 bucks and the lights from Kuryakyn silver bullets were 80 bucks. A far cry from $475. The bulbs are only 20w, but I plan on getting more powerful bulbs in the near future, Kuryakyn has the 35w ones. The Motolights are only 35w so you are not paying for more light output.
