Great install Seth! The steel mount that comes with the Cyo is very strong, and a big improvement over some of the stamped mounts out there. And you shouldn't have any wheel shadow issues with the light way out front. Maybe add a zip tie to secure the wire to the fork.
I love the Cyo and have mounted them in several configurations. My favorite installs are on my bikes with front racks (Nitto Mark's Rack or Nitto Mini Front). By using Nitto rack hardware (a bent rack strut, rack bolt, and washer -- http://tinyurl.com/yakk4ec) I position the headlight to the right or left of the rack just below the rack shelf. This placement tucks the headlight out of the way (typically under my rando bag or a basket) and still very accessible. I don't have any pics of this exact configuration handy, but these photos of the crude hack on my QB show the placement using a piece of aluminum stock I had laying around. http://tinyurl.com/y9djoa5 http://tinyurl.com/yd6hw84 For a much cleaner looking installation, one can attach a Nitto bent rack strut to one of the rear mounting holes (using the in either of the Nitto front racks. Remove the steel mount from the headlight, and bolt the Cyo to the hole in the end of the bent rack strut. Position the light in a similar position as shown in the photos above, and tighten everything up. I've been meaning to post pictures of the setup for a while, but just haven't gotten around to it. Hopefully, this description makes sense. -Jay Denver, CO On Jan 30, 9:41 am, Seth Vidal <skvi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Can anyone see any problems that I have missed with this headlight mounting: > > http://www.flickr.com/photos/skvidal/4316208172/in/photostream/ > > and > > http://www.flickr.com/photos/skvidal/4316210410/in/photostream/ > > it all works fine and I can get the light to move up and down and I > can reach over and turn it on from the saddle but I just wanted to be > sure I wasn't missing any other potential problems. > > thanks! > > -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
