Mounting 6" Rigid Industries LED Bar?

[Roge]

I have just tried search this topic (man look no doubt).

I know others have mounted the R I 6" LED SR series bars, so before I start hacking at the brackets or bike how did you do it, which mounting points, which mounts did you use, and how if at all were they modified? pictures would be good. Thanks in advance.

If you use the long brackets with the mounting holes for the bracket
flipped behind the light the are already 2 holes in the plastic that line
up , no fabbing needed except mabe proper length bolts .

Hmm I did not see that. I just cut some aluminum stock.

Installation is pretty simple. The two bolts just below the factory headlight will be used to connect the brackets that hold the light assembly. No new bolts needed. The Rigid 6" should have come with two sets of brackets, a short and long set. I've enclosed a picture of my installation. I bought an on/off switch off of Ebay and mounted it on my left handlebar.

Just add rusty bolt

The long bracket interferes with the plastic between the rusty bolt and the one to the upper left of the rusty bolt. There is enough meat to the long bracket that I simply used the dremel to notch it to clear the plastic, then touched up with gloss black rustoleum.


While it may have been easier to notch the plastic, it's the front sub-structure and I'd like to keep it as strong as possible.

I made no modifications , just bolted it up :

Are you saying you did not notch the plastic near the bolt hole? Look closely. Was your Tenere new or previously owned?

I need to notch the plastic or the bracket. Prefer the plastic.

I'm original owner and I didn't think I cut the plastic but I could be mistaken . O

Will have to do a trial fit

Have a Dremel handy to either grind the bracket or plastic.

I'll have it close

Your not gonna need it

There seems to be some debate here so either the TI mount or the S10 tolerances are shall we say loose

Well its on and its working, I did need to remove a little plastic to let the brackets sit flush, I could have used standoffs and thought about it but did not want to increase the moment on the mounting holes. Used some good big washers on the back of the plastic (they had to go between the two mouldings) so the mounts are solid.
I used the Aux light socke to pick up the relay feed not the male connector shell was in the place with blanking rubbers in the holes, you would only need the pins/sockets to make your own connection, I have an Eastern Beaver so had to remove the Yam one first, I did cause some confusion in the half light when I was cursing that the wrong connector was on the EB loom.
