I would just buy some roof bars and fit them to that, or you could fabricate some brackets to weld onto your tube....

I personally wouldn't bother, they aren't legal to use on road and they'll just reflect off your bonnet and glare the windscreen

To reduce that effect can step them back about 1/3rd of the way along the roof or paint the bonnet Matt black.

Id just spend a bit extra on some good quality lights for the front
