Headlight Mounting Preference - Frame or Handlebars
I recently tried a new mount location for my headlight which is on the frame instead of the handlebars. This way the light is much more stable and is not subject to small swings of the handlebars as I ride. I am just curious, of those that have tried both frame mount ad handlebar mounted headlights, which position is preferred?

Most definitely on the fork crown. I started with handlebar mounted lights and fork crown doesn't suffer from handlebar swings also you get more "shadowing" on the road surface that helps decern road hazards better.
