I had an idea a few weeks ago to re-fit the front light bucket with a more substantial light pack. LED...bright...yada yada.
Found a set of "cat eye" amber LEDs on eBay and the sizing was close enough, I figured I'd give it a try. They showed up yesterday and immediately I could tell that these would likely work REAL well. But how was I going to mount them? Attached thumbnail(s) |

Because the screw holes on the mount go all the way through, you can just screw it back on to the back side. The whole thing mounts up perfectly.
Eventually, I'll also re-incorporate the stock electrical hookups. But that's a "nice to have" and I'm sure some enterprising chap will start making up kits for something like this pretty soon, but really we're only talking about 15min of work here. (I left my soldering iron at the office, and need to break this all down anyways...so I didn't take it too far.) Attached thumbnail(s) |
