Thanks everyone for the kind remarks!
Last evening at dusk I went on a cruise to see how the bright driving lights and fog lamps performed together. I also wanted to see if the brackets and fog lamps stayed in place. All went well and not one passing driver flashed me for excessive light with everything on. So far so good. Grockle has cautioned me about having too many things on at the same time. I told him I'll turn off Linda's heated seat on a cold evening.....lol...it's something I will keep an eye on as a motorcycle battery is smaller than what i'm use to.
To make the two lamp supports you will need some 1" wide x 1/8" thick steel bar stock. The photos will show how I made them. You may want to make up a cardboard pattern first. In one of the photos you can see a wooden wedge I quickly made up to support the engine when you pull the engine mounting bolts out.
Do only one side at a time! You can use the original engine mount bolts if you use the thin style lock washers or you could just buy a couple new quality bolts 1/2" longer. This is overall not very hard to do if you have a drill press and some metal forming experience. If you don't find a machinist or a small machine shop in your area to help. They normally don't charge too much and I think enjoy some of my crazy projects from time to time! I know every small machine shop with in 30 miles!!...lol Then once you have a set made made do a final mock up as Grockle always says! If it all works then paint them satin black and reinstall.
Hope this helps and I do like the classic look with the vintage fog lamps. If your looking for a set of vintage fog lamps check out Ebay from time to time. I have just recently seen some really nice sets but expect to pay a premium for them. Again nothing was altered on the M3W and it can easily be put right back.
