Fitting auxiliary lights without crash bars?

I would like to fit some auxiliary lights to my new 1050 but won’t be having crash bars (or not initially) has anyone else done this and what brackets did you use? All the previous posts I have looked at seem to be for bikes with crash bars

Clamps round the forks, maybe? Always an option with usd forks.

Looks interesting, depending on the shipping cost?

Probably wouldn’t consider putting them on the forks, but thanks for the suggestion.

I had seen that bracket on eBay but wasn't sure I wanted the lights right near the indicators. I will consider it though. I want the lights for daytime use rather than nighttime.

A few options here, may work?
Some of the lower posts?

But would go for engine bars first.
