So my stock headlight is about to bust off. It's been cracked around the mounting point for well over a year. But it's about to finally break off. Riding home from work tonight I was worried it was gonna come off, get caught in the front wheel and wreck my black ass. It's bouncing so much it looks like a strobe light on the street signs in front of me.

I figure I'll take the opportunity to upgrade to a bigger headlight. Just wondering if this 7" fork mounted light from DCC will work with the Savage. I'm running the Ryca clip ons, so it might be a bit low, but whatever.

Thanks for any info.

No clue. Somewhere here will probably know. I just want a bigger light. Beef up the front end a bit hopefully. Maybe throw this on there as well.

Whoops, our bad...

The page you requested was not found, and we have a fine guess why.

The fork mounted headlight will most likely be fine, there will be some bending of the new mounts required to get the fork spacing and headlight width to work together.  It appears you will be able to mount it at least as high as the stock headlight.

The extra bulb is a throwback to the Old School bikes.  Some countries/cities required that you have parking lights whenever you parked on the street.  The small bulb lit the front of the bike - while the tail light lit up the back.  Our Savage has that park function - but doesn't have that little light in the headlight anymore.

I owned a 1970's car once that was imported from Germany.  When the car was turned off, you could move the turn signal lever to the right or left, and the turn signals on that side of the car would turn on and burn steady (no blinking)....and when the car was turned on the turn signals functioned normal.  This would allow you to park the car and turn on the lights nearest the street for parking lights.  That way you only used half the power that was needed if you pulled the headlight switch and ran all 4 parking lights (and the license plate light).  The US version of that same car did not have that feature.

PS...I don't think that black R/R crossing thingy will look good on your RYCA.  It might look OK on a military scheme bike.

i used this type of headlamp and brackets as shown in the first pic on the trike i built ,i had to make spacers between the clamps and the lamp but it worked out nice

Center line is about 7.5".

I'm just gonna go ahead and order it. Wrapped some tape around the headlight and forks yesterday to keep it from bouncing around so much because I had some running around to do. But it finally snapped clean off on the way home. Literally held in place just with tape right now. I wanna get the order placed so I can have the parts by Tuesday or so. If I can't make it work, I have a buddy that owns a shop who will.
