Photo above shows the new red marker light, on the left rear pannier. For some reason, all these pictures were flash photographs. The camera won't flash when I want it to, then it flashes when I don't want it to. Maybe I changed a setting on the camera.


Photo above shows the new lighting fixture, which I made using the ceramic MR16 socket shown in an earlier photo, and a soup can.


Detail of Toggle switch. Yes, I thoroughly marred the paint with the pliers while installing it. These switches are getting mighty expensive these days, so I salvaged two switches from the 1982 Suzuki Fairing. Price went up when the price of copper went up. they cost five or six dollars each now.


Photo above shows the position... excuse me, installed location of the left side toggle switch. The position is "OFF".


Photo above shows the front tire/tyre, chromed fork, the front edge of the battery rack, and the two LED Headlights. The right (my right, your left) is 6.7 watts with a 35 degree beam spread angle, and the fixture can be rotated in any direction, if I cut the white plastic zip-tie. The left Headlight has a 6.2 watt LED bulb, with an eight degree beam spread angle. It really casts a beam far ahead. This bulb is mounted in the fixture I made this morning, and it is held to the bottom of the battery rack with quarter-twenty hex bolts; I added three washers to the front bolt to keep the light aimed down, so it doesn't blind other drivers. There is some foam-board glued to the bottom, and the bulb is retained by two small blue binder clips at the top. Amazing what can be built just from the junk one finds on ones desk!


The inside of the shark's mouth was blacked with India Ink and a small paintbrush, last week. I always have a bike that is a "work-in-progress", and this is it.
