Anyone have any suggestions on a bar clamp that will fit on the crash bar along the top?

Picked up some LED POD fog lights that I'd like to mount and while it fits ok on the left side, I forgot the right side is set a smidge further forward...thanks.

Kuryakyn quick clamps are nice.  https://www.kuryakyn.com/products/531/magnum-quick-clamps

I think the guards are 1" on top and 1 1/4" in the middle.

On interstates, the pods interfere with a 12 O'clock mount.

Also, some have highway pegs that might be too close if the offsets are swung up there.  Or your feet on the pegs may hit the lights.

Wow, forgot how much 'motorcycle' stuff cost...

Nah, this is for my Standard and current highway pegs won't get in the way, but I appreciate the notice.

For cheap, these are it (they come in one inch).  https://store.valueaccessories.net/EngineGuardClamps.aspx

One of my past bikes came with them and they work.  They got a little rusty over time, and the tiny screws and holes are a pain to fool with doing fiddling adjustments.  They finally got replaced with the Kuryakyn's (when they were half the preset cost).  Better chrome, better function.

It isn't so much 'cheap' as reasonably priced and Kuryakyn is anything but reasonable.
Yeah, I can see how they can be fiddly, thanks for the suggestion.

I got these and mounted them on the upper portion of the curve. They dont have clearance on the top of the crashbar. i also wanted them as wide as possible.

Thanks for the suggestion, though I'm hoping for something to on the top... clearance is tight for sure.
I just ordered these yesterday and should be here today.

So these brackets work brilliantly and fit quite easily along the top of the crash bar.
This is for the 'full size' 2" version if you scroll through the product pics.

These slide apart and are not 'hinged' in the traditional sense.
The center hole accommodates a 3/8" bolt, two allen head bolts to secure the clamp...I think I may add a nut with some loctite to secure once I'm done getting the wiring run and the pods set up.

It does come with two sleeves/shims though they certainly aren't silicone... feels like a thick/flexible plastic.

I'd post pics but the site doesn't support it and I'm not interested in a photo hosting site.
