So I am trying not to lose the utility of the front rack with this install. At the same time I don't wan the led leading the charge so to speak should I bump something. The best location I have found is pictured below but I am a little concerned about it being in front of the vent. Thoughts?
Got any pics and can you advise on which ones you used.
I was looking at reduction sleeves but couldnt find anything that took me from 0.75 to XXXX. everything seemed built for 0.875. Quick search on shims and I still couldnt find anything to take me below 1"
i welded a mount to mount my dad's in that location. some people run bolts straight through the frame, althoug i think that looks too rigged. im sure there are clamps sized for our racks, but i couldnt tell you where to find them. long story short, free bump to the top.
Off the top of my head u could get some pipe strap and wrap it around the tubing a time or 2. U need 1/16" all around to shim u from 3/4(.75) to 7/8 (.875).
U could even use tape.
I gotta imagine there are mounts out there that are made for rigid that mount on .75 tubes.
how big is your light bar, if you want the best mount and a more useable setup get a rigid industries handle bar mount. they work with 6 and 10 inch bars.
Since I'm still debating on ordering the handlebar mount, I just used some of the big black zip ties that are probably 3/8" wide, I think they're good for like 75 lbs. Going to test it out this weekend and see how I like it mounted there
Yea zip ties with a $300 light... no bueno... I read on some other cycle forums people have shimmed the bars using aluminum from a soda can. I may try that to tighten it up from a 0.75 to 0.875 if all else fails.
Installed mine here to keep it from getting hit by branches or logs. Also shines in the direction I'm turning! It's high enough it shines over grass when riding through fields as well. Simply attached with a set of aluminum handlebar clamps off ebay for $4 shipped! Did take 3-4 weeks to arrive tho.
my 10 inch light bar sat in the same spot with piaa mounts.
