Here's mine

On Loco-cycle I welded braces on my forks then used 3/8 brake line stuffed into the chrome plated plumbing attachments for toilets as my truss bars (both front and rear). Easy to bend and shape, but no structural support.

Check the link in my sig if interested, Rg

Used truss rods themselves as light mounts

Heim joints to mounts truss rods on a canti fork on my RBBO7 bike

For a triple seems like you could use these type mounts for a headlight on the fork legs

this one is welded and i used seat clamp on the stem to clamp the rods
