my guess is in lieu of a having that extra (expensive) daruma, you could have not taken off that extra tab, opened up its hole with a drill, and used the daruma thats already at that fastening point. in my experience there's enough bolt for a little more to be sandwiched in there. the angle loo

You’re right, Peter. In fact, the Blue Lug page that talks about this “hack” shows them using it to mount a front Koma light (clear lens). One thing to note; the Koma light mounting brackets are all M5, rather than the M6 standard for most dyno headlights. That’s why this tab works so well - one ho

Thanks John! The light itself is perfectly fine. Not crazy bright or fancy, but serves its purpose.

The battery life isn’t as good as some other USB rechargeable ligh

Thank you BB for sharing. Nice, clean mounts for rear lights can be hard to find/improvise. How do you like the light? I'm not familiar with that one. JohnS On Saturday, February 4, 2023 at 8:46:33 AM UTC-5 brok...@gmail.com wrote: > I was looking for a better way to mount my Koma rear light on
