    Critique my LED light mounting...

    Hey folks, Bought some LED flood lights and made some mounting brackets out of 1/8" X 2" aluminum angle. My worry is that do you think the fender would hit them under full compression? Can't say I'd ever plan on taking the bike anywhere that I'd fully compress the forks but who knows?? I may...
