Thanks, everyone, for the great ideas and links. I guess I'll get out of the 80's and forget the mag light idea. :-)

Tourist in MSN, I like the simple way you've shown your front light mounted and I may go with that idea. In the link you provided to another forum, I saw another good idea by jwbnyc, using a Paul Gino and Topeak Bar Extender. Still thinking about that one since I can't get my mind around the way the bar extender would mount. i.e., the Paul Gino connected to the Nice Rack braze with a M5 bolt would have the Gino facing the wrong direction for mounting the bar extender - unless the bar extender pivots this-way-and-that-way. I've never seen a bar extender in person.

For tail lights, I have two Superflash lights mounted on either side of the rear Nice Rack, on the vertical bars. I built up the bars with inter tubing (similar to Tourist in MSN's idea for the front) and attached the light brackets. I'm plenty visible in low light and I don't ride in pitch darkness.

Actually, I'm not planning a big tour ... just enjoying the gadgets. I must say, however, that Ireland has been calling my name for quite a while ...
