I mount my Supernova E3 to the front braket of a Nitto Large Front Rack, like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/4815790104/ and this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/4815789426/
Never a problem, and great beam pattern, and obviously no wheel shadow, from up there. -----Original Message----- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Peter Pesce Sent: Friday, February 18, 2011 12:36 PM To: RBW Owners Bunch Subject: [RBW] Re: Dyno headlight mounting for Hillborne? I mount my battery Ixon to the front tab as others above described. I wouldn't rule this out just because some engineering intution says it is "bad." It eliminates wheel shadow, and places the light at approximately the height of a for crown mount , which the optics were designed for ( according to PJW). It's no more vulnerable than side rack mounts. If you have a small rack bag you can even mount the bracket "backwards" so it angles up and back rather than up and foreward. This makes the installation feel a bit more "compact" if that helps. Sorry, hard to describe but I don't have a pic. Just my 2c Pete On Feb 18, 2:47 am, Bob <prov...@umbc.edu> wrote: > Thanks!
