who much weight does the radiator handle?

[Beerdrinker]

I own a pair of auxiliary lights and I'm without ideas to mount them.
I don't like them in the forks.
The best place, I think, and they will be discrete, is under the front fairing, centered with the headlights, but I need to make some kind of bracket to fit them there.

So I thought, if it is possible to fix them in the lower bolt of the radiator?

The auxiliary lights are cree led like these ones they weigh about 700g each (1,54 pounds).

I own some Hella Micro DE but they are H3 bulb and I think the motorcycle won't handle the consumptions of the auxiliary halogen H3 plus the dual head light mood.

I would not mount any thing to the radiator. Even if it were structurally secure, one hit to a light and your radiator could be done.

I would suggest go for some kind of crash guard/engine guards and mount on them..!

Try some kind of guards like in this video and mount on them:

Most of the people mount on them in India.
Lets see what others can suggest.

good point, never thought of that... thank you
any other sugestion? I wanted something simple and discrete.

Discrete = No
Some run mirror spacers. You could make some brackets and attach them using same bolts as mirrors or place them lower by drilling holes in the fairing. I wouldn't want them adjacent to turn indicators as those might not be noticed as much...

If you make tabs from aluminum, have them powder coated...
