This is just plain crazy. Check this out.
http://gallery.mac.com/ericcherry#100161&bgcolor=black&view=gridI was driving on the highway towards home, no bump in the road, no collision with anything, the headlight just falls off the forks!
Still attached via the wires, but is now useless pointing at the fender bouncing around.
Luckily the moon was out and clear skies so I had enough vision to make it to safety.
Got it home in the daylight and gave it some inspecting.
I bought this bike used (and love it), and looks like the former owner had it break off at the yoke. What I admire is the ingenuity of using saw off hacksaw blades and wood screws to hold the original break together.
What I disapprove of is the cheap and dangerous nature of this repair for such a vital to life part!
Now it appears that the plastic headlight housing has become brittle and or cracked and broken right off at the mounting bolts.
This part is totally f'ed, but wanted to show off the kind of luck I have.
Anyone got a spare headlight housing part # 51810-38A03 they wanna sell me?
