Light Mounts for OEM Light Bar

[milesprwr]

I have the OEM light bar on my 2013 NC700X, and I've tried mounting lights like: Nilight 2PCS 4Inch 60W led Pods Flood Spot Combo LED Light Bars Off-Road Light Mounting Bracket Horizontal Bar Tube Clamp with Off Road Wiring Harness-2 Leads

Problem was are the bar clamp mounting brackets are too thick to properly install on the light bar. Additionally, I couldn't rotate the lights in the right direction even if I could install the bar clamp.

The bike already has what looks to be Denali DM pods mounted by the front fender:


I was thinking of mounting these higher on the light bar, but I'm unsure where to find bar clamp mounts that would work for these. Do you all have any advice?

My 2013 has the Honda accessory light bar and the same Denali lights mount directly to it using the threaded holes and a triangular piece of metal.

Ah that's what those threads are for. Was this something you fabricated yourself? Or is there a place I can pick something like that up?

When I bought the bike the lights were already mounted by the previous owner. I've been meaning to remove them to clean up the corrosion and repaint the mounting plate.

Thanks for the input!

Not sure if these would work for you, but I installed these bar clamps to hold some aux lights on my engine guards and they've been working well enough. They come with different sized rubber pads to fit various tube diameters.

Thanks, Jim! These were a bit too bulky to fit well between the light bar and the cowl. I ended up going with these mounts which were much smaller: BRCOVAN Light Mounts for ATV UTV Motorcycle, 2PCS Off-Road LED Light Bar Mounting Bracket, Aluminum Alloy Whip Light Flag Mount for 0.75"/0.875''/1"/1.125''/1.26"/1.375'' Handlebars & Roll Cages [amazon]

I did more or less what Dave did, on my '12. I got a piece of scrap metal from the dumpster at work, then cut it and bent it 90-degrees right in the middle on the hydraulic brake in the shop (also at work). Drilled three holes apiece (2 for the light bar, one for the light), bees knees.

Very nice! I wish I had access to some of the tools.
