[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1363871, member: 3828"] The old skyway type brackets (I have a set made by Garauld, I think) were effective on the first and second gens because the mirror mount was flush to the front of the faring. So the back side of the vertical part rested heavily on the faring surface and helped to support whatever weight moment you had dangling on the end. Problem with the 3rd Gen is the recessed area that the mirrors mount into is not uniformly recessed into the faring surface. So resting the bracket on the faring is a more difficult option. That's why these 3rd Gens need a stiffer bracket to support the lights, whatever they are. I've shown and helped develop way to use relatively light LED Aux lights on 3rd Gens using the WynPro Anti-Vibe bracket style mounts. I'm clearly biased but I think that hugging the contour of the faring surface, they look a lot better than the horizontal "wing" style brackets from the past, and the smaller profile LR4's are nice as compared to some of the other options. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
