I have a Motortrike Razor on a gl1800 and am looking for lights to install in the boards. There is a cut out in the front to accommodate lights. If you have lights installed on yours can you send me pictures of the install please.

You can get them from MotorTrike. No help on how they mount

They mount from the back side of the cutouts. There is a slot on the bottom of the aquaboards that a bolt goes in and attaches to the light housing (if you are using the MotorTrike OEM's). My Trike came with the lights, so if your's didn't don't know about the wiring.
My suggestion is to buy some aftermarkets. MT lights will require you to take out a 2nd mortgage. :0)

I saw some posts somewhere?? awhile back saying these can fit in MotorTrike running boards.

Cree makes a bunch of different running lights. How they work or can be made to fit in the MTs running board housing. That I don't know.
But.
They are inexpensive to play with.
MTs on the other hand are far from cheap.
I have been using Cree Halo's in my Motor Trike running boards for years. I used the regular Halogen and you have to buy the wires with them. $170 way back then. The Cree's are like $20 for 2. I cut off the wires from the old halogen and soldered them on the cree's. I had to elongate the holes in the running boards so I could shove them back a bit.

2018 MT Condor trike with lights
I have had the MT AQS lights since I got the trike. A bulb burned out and I asked MT how to change it. Turns out that you can't. They sent me a new pair under warranty. After seeing how they mounted I had planned to replace them with Leds after they burned out. One did and I didn't notice. I have been off the trike for over 3 years because of health issues and so I took it to the shop and told them to just fix everything. They replaced the burned out light at their cost from MT and I almost choked on the price. The mounting is fairly simple compared to the Honda driving lights and anyone who has any mechanical ability should be able to fabricate a mount for the various lights available. I replaced the old lights myself in about 30 minutes and it seems like the hardest part was the electrical plug.
