Puig 3489N Auxiliary Lights Kit - Homologated with Black Clamps for Motorcycles | Perfect for Night Riding & Off-Road Adventures

My bike is a 2016 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100rr with the front end swapped with a 2007 Kawasaki Z1000. The front headlight on my bike is not great for night riding, and I regularly have to ride through sketchy mountain/canyon roads at night for work. That said, I needed something better for being able to spot deer and other animals in the road. I've always been a big fan of Puig parts, so these stood out to me. The lights themselves are fantastic... But the mounts are god-awful. They come with a seemingly cheap, soft plastic ring mount made for slim bars (i.e crash cage, bar frame, or handlebars. Inside each ring is a rubber layer that SHOULD grip the bar it's being mounted to. But this ring slides and rotates far too easily to remain functional. The next flaw in the mount is the swivel piece that, once tightened, causes it to lock into place. The same bolt that tightens the ring mount threads through this and is tightened by a nut that is inside the swivel. Easy enough... But the nut is held in place by the same cheap plastic, and if you want to add enough torque to keep the entire mount from vibrating loose and flying off your bike, you're most likely going to strip the plastic that holds the nut in place, meaning, so now you can't even tighten it at all lol. But it gets worse.... The swivel mount has yet another rotating piece that finally connects to the light itself. One would think that a nice, metal mount would be in order, but nope. You get another cheap plastic pirce that actually CAN be tightened on. The bolt required, however, caused the hole to stretch in diameter with hardly any torque to the point that the head of the bolt totally slipped through, making the mount useless again. I tried using a washer to get around this, but that just resulted in the flimsy mounting fins splitting apart. Riding at just 15-20mph was enough for the lights to become loose enough to point directly to the ground. I had to buy aftermarket aluminum fork mounting rings and drill into those in order to set them up in a functional way. Great lights, and the wiring is easy to manage, but whoever designed the mounts needs to reevaluate their life choices. They are just that bad
