    Are KC Slimlites the only kind of light that will fit behind the grill? Or would I be able to fit any other light besides a "slim" light? How much room you hve to play with?

    Is it a tight fit or do you have some more room? Any rub on the grill or radiator?

    There isn't a lot of room to work with but depending on how you mount them you can have it avoid rubbing.

    A lot of people mount it using the 2 holes in the radiator support. From there it will be resting up against the radiator. I've used that method for over a year and didn't have any problems.

    You can also make up a bracket like Klipp did

    Either way it won't be rubbing on the grille, but then again it all depends on how big the light is you're trying to fit back there.

    That's preeety cool! I didn't even know about the jamoshi. I'm still gonna go with the satoshi though. I like it better and I already got all the crap for it
