Unfortunately, I don't have them myself, but I have seen them mounted in two spots.

Drilled into the Roundels (yuck) and attached to the "fork legs" on the front axel somehow.

Thanks for the reply. I have talked to Duncan at his shop and having seen both placements you mentioned, I probably will go with a mounting bracket. Not sure where yet?

I didn't spring for the Piaa lights, just some cheap ones from the local parts store. I made a bracket that spans between the sides of the fairing under the oil cooler and mounted the lights at the oute edges.

Have you Seen Piaa's mounted on Martin Fabrication Brackets?
Cyclegadgets.com has them for a R1100RS

I'm running Martin brackets on a RT with the 1100's they fill in the weak spots of the low beam and I'm not get flashed by oncoming traffic.
