These were taken at about 11 p.m. after a 1 hour ride - the battery is still pourin' out the power. So, you can see I used a regular low-voltage outside light (Malibu) fixture. I removed the spike and drilled out the hole just large enough for the bolt to go through. The mount is a clamp-on that is used to attach a grounding wire to piping.
Well, today was the first 'malfunction' of my headlight. And it was not the light its self, but the mount that I had it on failed. Constant shaking on something that just wasn't strong enough for the amount of force put on it by the weight of the light.
However, it gave way to a better mount out of the basic unit. I tilted the mount down a little and drilled out a couple of holes and it is better and stronger. Pics to come.
