I want to install a bottom mount headlight and tuck it in close to the bike.
Is there any reason to NOT drill into the lower triple clamp? I was thinking of making a bracket that would have two bolts attached to the triple and have the light mount to it.
There is some flat space below the clamp, I was originally thinking of tapping the hole and putting nuts on the bottom.
Will this significantly weaken the part? I was also thinking that I could put the holes at the end of the slots (see pictures).
I can't really use the triple clamp bolts as easily as they are on an angle, or straight out as on a Harley.
This is going on a 1970's Moto Guzzi.
And yes, I am going to do something about the long brake lines.
