I don't have any particular recomendations. But I found these, which use double-sided tape. I'm sure there are others.

Phillips Lockhart (or is it lockhart phillips???) anyway, they make smoked flushmounts. I was trying to decide on them or shimery ones. Yes, you will have to drill a small hole to run the wire, but the 3M tapes works very well to hold it on, just make sure to clean the area where you are going to stick them first to insure a good bond.
And yes, I put flushmounts on my rear, and they are very bright and noticable, but gives the rear a much cleaner look I do beleive. I can post some pics later if you want to see what it looks like.Kan-O-Gixxer!

Originally posted by md86Yeah , you'll either have to drill for at LEAST the wires , or run them up the outside of your fairing . And if you don't get the double-sided tape , you'll have to drill for the mounting screws , too .
It then "squeezed" the fairing plastic between the washers. So I had the light first, then a rubber washer, then the fairing, then another rubber washer, followed by the metal washer and a locking nut.
When it was all said and done the middle of the lamp, where the wires come out, was flush with the edge of the fairing, so I had no need to drill any holes in my plastics to attach/hook up the lamps. Because of the way it all lines up w/ my fender eliminator kit and license plate... the half of the lamp which "hangs" past the plastic is actually hidden behind my license plate so it doesn't look bad at all.

Pics were requested, so here they are. Please excuse the fact that she is dirty as hell. I'm planning on trying to clean her up nice this weekend. I try not to clean it too often because I get too depressed at all of the body damage and paint scratches. She used to look brand new and bone-stock when I got her last year.
