Help Mount Headlight suggestions

[fazerset2kill]

I bought a pair of 55watt driving lights and need help/suggestions where to mount them. Or how i should go about hooking them up.

I am really looking for saftey more than looks at this point.

No help on where to mount them, but even if you don't have the dual headlight mod, you'll be really close to drawing too much wattage from the bike. I'd recommend looking into some LED driving lights instead.

Edit-
I read that the total wattage available is 182 watts. Here's a breakdown of all the lights on the bike, this isnt counting the watts the computer/FI system pulls. The bold ones are always on.

Watts total avail=182
60 High beam
55 L Low Beam
55 R Low Beam (dual headlight mod)
5 L front running
5 R front running
21 L front turn
21 R front turn
5 Tail
21 Brake
21 L rear turn
21 R rear turn
5 License

So in theory you could throw on the 4 way flashers, while on the brakes and running the high beamwith dual headligh mod. And in essence draw 280 watts.

So i just came up with the thought of wiring them to my frame sliders

Does your single light have proper high/lo switching? The lo beam should shut off when the hi beam is switched on.
You can set-up a slave relay for your auxiliary lights and you could run the slave of the hi beam signal...

If you're streetfightered, what mounting them to the top of the forks with some loop clamps or something?

Here's some fancy mounts about halfway down
