I would only tap in far enough to make the surfaces even.

Are you going to use a fairing If so get some mirrors that will fit on where the std mirrors fit and stick up a bit.
If I were going to mount spot lights again I would make a mount to fit where the mirrors fit.
I use 2 x 100W Narva lights on mine but I have the luxury of a 60 Amp alternator. I mounted them in the holes where the police lights were and they are fairly stable.

One of the blocks has a stripped thread so maybe it is fairly common.
Did you mean 15mm of thread in the hole, my thread list has a 15mm thread but would not be used in aluminium.
Out of curiosity, I'll go nock the bolt out of the rs which I know has never been out before, seems odd to me that three out of three engines, from completely different sources are the same. All have heli coils , and only 1/2 the 35mm hole is threaded.

Taper, intermediate and plug. Even though they are blurred that's what they look like.
