Switching from Regular Lights to LED's

I bought Chris Products lights they are made in the USA. They do sell threaded studs so I may try some of them.

I have inverted forks and they are 54mm. I have not seen brackets that large.

I found out that the Chris lights are 5/16 with a fine thread. On the bike side it is also 5/16 but with a coarse thread.

The studs they sell fit the lights with the fine thread on one side and on the other side it is 3/8 with a coarse thread. So it looks like I will have to make the bike side larger so the stud will fit.


Or find a 5/16 stud with coarse threads and tap the light housing so it has coarse threads or use a heilcoil .

Also found larger fork clamps I could use. I might go that way but damn they are expensive.


Update: I just found out they make studs with 5/16 fine thread on one side and coarse on the other. That should fix my whole problem at least for the front lights.
