My only concern would be using the caliper bolts to hold a bracket. I have yet to take the brakes apart on the SV but I have rebuilt a few other disc brake systems and some of those bolts aren't too long or go in JUST deep enough. Even a thin bracket could compromise those bolts which take all of the force when you brake. Most running lights I've seen, replace the side reflector and mount to that screw hole. Some take the reflector and remount it but most don't. I'd be curious to know if you have any thing that contradicts my concern because I think that's a better place to mount the lights if it doesn't cause a failure at some point. That’s pretty slick!

I have been looking at those for a while but wasn't sure how bright they were. I think I'll get a set, thank you for the review! Nice installation.

I just want to keep my comment count up. Seriously, we should start calling you Dr. Bolty with all the bike surgery you do. I don’t have anything to say. I just want to keep my comment count up.

I have been hunting for something to augment my tail light on my K1 SV650. I think I may have to get the hyper-lites -- maybe even with the annoying CA 4 times blink. I don't think I can make the front mount, so I'll have to put the running lights on hold. BTW: I think I have that same soldering toy :) Looks like nice work!

Last weekend I was perusing the 'net for lighting systems for my project bike. May have found it. Thanks for the info on this.
