bike off the road and things

[wavey]

Hello everybody, I was going to say now BT have got me broadband working again grrrrrr BT and it went off again Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
I have posted the first picture of my bike (see open forum or gallery)
pic was taken last year - as you may have read in my first post I spent the last bank holiday riding round the east coast, that’s because I live in Leicestershire and am 95 miles from the east coast but I love the roads to the seaside A47 from Leicester to hunstanton and A52 Boston to skeggvagas.
but my favourite is the road off the motorway at thirsk to A170 through helmsley to Scarborough(for the best ice-cream) and the A171 via Robin hoods bay to Whitby (for the best fish&chips)

Following the last trip I have had to take bike of the road as there is a 2" rip in the centre of the back tyre (yes I was riding it when it went-but i'm okay) and it can't be repaired (Boooo) so here comes a bill for £105 lazertec and I have noticed that the headlight frame has snapped on the weld, so need to strip that out and get it fixed so could be off the road for a short time
cheers wavey ;D

Interesting just spotted one of my headlamp welds as broken but it feels ok on 3 points so it will have to do for now.

Just off out to bed in my new tyre, hope you get yours back on the road sonn.

Hmmm, I should check my headlight brackets methinks....I noticed the other day it suddenly had a higher beam....perhaps something gave in.

Good luck trying to fix her up wavey

The Headlight frame has been a source of much angst for many people, Jaz included, now Wavey, possibly soon to be jkoined by RJ and Buzzin
This isn't good:(

The frame appears to only have one significant job - holding up the headlight. It does this with a degree of style and allows the top of the forks (between the top and bottom yokes) to look clean and uncluttered.

However, the main issue here is functionality, so why not replace the frame with an alternative that does the same job?

Should do it, and I have seen someone recently post photos on here with a similar arrangement.

Our aNTys' legs are 41mm diameter, so these may be OK

or perhaps these which are a little cheaper
www.mandp.co.uk/productinfo/500239/Spares/Headlights-and-Brackets/On-Two-Wheels

I can find 43mm plus and up to 41mm, having looked in Wemoto, Busters and these two site plus a few others.

Cheers Mcf the second link works and would fit the bill.

Was this the 1st link

www.bitzforbikes.co.uk/Headlight_Brackets_in_Chrome_26-37mm_%28pair%29.-ref-6154-264.html

Mine is broken but as I say with three points still fixed its ok for now.

EHm....yeah, but I would have 1 problem with all of them....my indicators are mounted on the headlight brackets....
I'll check the brackets a.s.a.p., but first mothersday

[McF]

RJ - that's the one, not sure why my link didn't work
IT gremlins?

Buzzin, You may need to do some mods, but I think you should still be able to mount your indicators on these brackets.

We had Mother's day already in England, but enjoy yours

[rj2para (Bisto)]

My indicators are already fixed to the fork legs so thats one good thing.
