Since the pressure is probably even all around, it might be safe. I guess I should check periodically to see if I form cracks. I really don't know anything about carbon fiber.

I just used a twisty from Lowe's to replace the bag bungees. And I used a PVC light mount similar to noglider's. Pic later.

Aha, where might one aquire such a beast? 🙂 I have the newer one, with the clamping system, and want to mount my headlight. It'll never work now, the bars are behind the bar bag, lol. Or I might try fork mounting the light. 🤔😎

This is why Noglider and I did the fork mount for lights. Solutions below, posts 23-24.

Yepsir, I would normally be a modifier/inventor, but I'm still touring in Arizona. Not enough tools & raw materials on hand. 😉 But I just found the downtube cable stops I needed, so who knows what could happen here. 😁😉
