patineto, let's see the whole ibis...that bike looks interesting.

bs, bonus points for using "malleable" in a thread.

kadvang, bonus points for roasting N8 so completely, although it does appear he was heavily sauced.

Just a couple quick things before I head to class:

The bracket will clear the arch even when the fork is bottomed out. Pikes have a real high crown arch.

As for movement of the fork, it would seem to me that the crown of the fork is suspended just the same as the handlebars are...seeing the same amount of movement. There may be some extra vibration from the length of the bracket itself tho.

As for shadows.. we'll see one night this week.

Correct dat.

 

[Skookum]

Correct dat.

yup spot on, really no critisism other than when you take a digger and you get a handlebar spin, the light might end up smacking itself to a demise by slapping the frame.
But it's not even worth mentioning really since a light is always going to be in a vulnerable spot anywhere you ride with one on a crash.
Also it might stop the spin of the fork where the light might bust but at least it will save your brake hoses from snapping.
Talk about overthinking..... i'm gonna shut up now.:looney:

you are totally right, i'm the one that messup, actually i was to lazzy to go and check on the pictures and I "asume" you mount it on the arch..

As for shadows.. we'll see one night this week.

if you even losee something on the floor or a flat surface try this trick (I use it all the time since i'm kind of messy) get anytype of light and place it as paralel to the surface as possible, this way the shadows will become very noticiable and improve you chances of finding the lost part, the same prinsiples apllys to vehicle light, a lot mounted sourse will be exelent to trace terrein iregularityes sice every ondulation, will generate a really sharp edge , bright were the light hits, very dark in the concave shape of the terrain were the light can not reach


so now i have a question for you burly...

His right hand is male and his left is female. He spends a lot of time shaking hands with himself.

Its not that simple of question in BS' case. As JBP indicated BS is complicated.

 

[BurlyShirley]

You got that wrong, JBP.

My right hand is the female. Im not quite sure what my left hand "the stranger" is just yet.

I am a dude, however.

 

[BurlyShirley]

Where did you get the piece of steel? Good idea by the way. I hate extra crap on my bar. Plus being low you prolly get a good light spray. Any shadow problems? Is the light a flood or spot?

I used to do HVAC controls, install work. The piece of metal is just a hanger for low voltage cable that anchors to a wall.

 

[JRB]

Who cares if it bends??? It took 15 minutes to do, and he has a template to use on heavier metal if it doesn't work. Not really a bad idea, as much as that pains me to say.
