Picture of Aux Lighting Mounts

Now that I have the Poorboy kit on my 1984 Interstate I am looking to add some Auxillary lighting to the front.
I have been looking at the Showchrome 52-104X mount and then choosing the lights I want for that bar. If you could please post some pics of any auxillary lighting mounts you have I would appreciate it. If you know what mount you are using that would help as well. I am mostly looking for good driving lights without breaking the bank so let me know what you have found works well would be great Thanks in Advance.

I have a universal set of Kuryakyn halogen driving lamps. Think I paid $99 at Americade a couple years ago. Here's a couple photos, one with lamps on and one with lamps off. Found the light bar for you at Chrome World.

Thanks guys. Both of those are the Show Chrome 52-104x.
Looks like it mounts to the upper mounting point for the lowers, just above the Radiator? How much room does it give you width wise for a light mounted at the mount point to the Fairing. I do like those silver bullets, my fear however is they won't be bright enough for the early mornings or late evenings up here in the Pacific Northwet. I will have a 60 mile one way commute along an area with not much light or civilization most times.

when i had a set of Hella 550's mounted had about 1/2" clearance,but i took them off to mount Hella 450 foglights
personally the driving lights are not as good as the HID headlights i have installed,have HID's ready for the foglights too but haven't installed yet but if your running a stock headlight driving lights are a definite improvement over a standard H4 bulb

I replaced the standard headlamp with Sylvania SilverStar and it's a very bright white light. You could go brighter with the "zXe" or ULTRA version.

I like the results of HID as a headlight.
But also thinking a bright modulated headlight and Aux lighting(possibly with HID bulbs there) may provide better visibility. Just surveying the options now, may also add a lower set of LED's like the cornering light option on an SE or 1500 for cager awareness. Gonna start another thread to hear opinions.
