Description
The Maddog Light Mounts are a universal auxiliary light mounting solution engineered for motorcycles that use crash bars, engine guards, or exposed tubular frames. Designed for riders who need secure, adjustable, and vibration-resistant mounting, these light mounts provide a practical way to install LED auxiliary lights without permanent modification to the motorcycle.
Auxiliary lighting plays a critical role in improving visibility during night riding, adverse weather, and off-road conditions. The effectiveness of any auxiliary light setup depends heavily on how securely and accurately the lights are mounted. The Maddog Light Mounts are designed to address this requirement by offering stable clamping, controlled adjustability, and compatibility across a wide range of motorcycles.
Wide Compatibility with 18mm–38mm Crash Bars
These mounts are designed to fit round bars and tubes with diameters ranging from 18mm to 38mm (0.62in–1.5in). This range covers most commonly used crash bars, engine guards, and frame tubes found on adventure motorcycles, touring motorcycles, and dual-sport platforms. Because the mounts rely on a clamp-based system rather than model-specific brackets, they can be used across multiple motorcycle models without requiring vehicle-specific hardware.
This universal fitment makes the Maddog Light Mounts suitable for both OEM and aftermarket crash bars, provided the bar diameter falls within the specified range.
Clamp-Style Mounting with Rubber Isolation
Each mount uses a clamp-style design that secures directly onto the bar surface using standard fasteners. The inner contact surface of the clamp is lined with high-density rubber padding, which serves multiple functional purposes.
The rubber lining helps prevent direct metal-to-metal contact, reducing the risk of scratches or damage to painted, powder-coated, or plated crash bars. It also increases friction at the contact point, helping the mount maintain its position when exposed to vibration, road shocks, and repeated load cycles during riding.
This design contributes to long-term mounting stability, especially in conditions such as highway cruising, broken roads, and off-road trails.
3D Axis Adjustable Light Positioning
A defining feature of the Maddog Light Mounts is the 3D Axis adjustable mounting system. This system allows the mounted auxiliary light to be adjusted across multiple axes, giving riders precise control over both vertical and horizontal beam direction.
This adjustability is especially useful when setting up auxiliary lights for different riding scenarios. Riders can angle lights further down the road or trail for long-distance visibility, or lower the beam to control glare during on-road use. Fine adjustment helps optimise illumination without relying on additional spacers or secondary brackets.
Once adjusted, the mount is designed to hold the selected angle securely, helping prevent gradual movement due to vibration or uneven terrain.
Designed for Practical, Non-Invasive Installation
Installation of the Maddog Light Mounts does not require drilling, cutting, or permanent modification to the motorcycle. The mounts clamp directly onto the bar surface and can be adjusted or repositioned as needed. This non-invasive approach allows riders to add auxiliary lighting while retaining the motorcycle’s original structure and finish.
Because the mounts function purely as a mechanical interface, they do not include lights, wiring, switches, or electrical components. Riders are free to pair them with compatible LED auxiliary lights such as spot lamps, fog lights, or compact driving lights, depending on their lighting requirements.
Real-World Use and Mounting Position Advantages
Crash-bar-mounted auxiliary lights are often preferred because they sit lower and further forward than handlebar-mounted options. This placement improves foreground illumination and reduces shadows caused by the motorcycle’s front fairing or windscreen. When paired with properly aimed auxiliary lights, this setup can significantly improve visibility in low-light and off-road environments.
What’s Included
Each kit includes one pair of Maddog Light Mounts, along with the required mounting hardware. These mounts are intended to support auxiliary lighting systems that fall within the mechanical limits of the clamp size and mounting surface.
