what sucks about those is the back of the lights hit the ram air on 636 frames... i have a real acerbis and had to run it under my lower fork clamp.

Same problem here, I was thinking just make a bracket so the light is out further then the frame.

PM HondaCBR he was gonna sell me a acerbis diamond... its brand new, he was gonna give it to me for 50 bucks shipped. Said he would overnight it to me for 65. (extra 15 for shipping is damn good... said he works for a shipping company so he can hook it up)

If anyones interested hit him up. His names brian. I didnt buy from him cause i found a used diamond for 10 bucks.
