I have modified the head light bracket to fit my A-bike

Postby Amuro Lee on Mon Jan 01, 2007 1:22 pm

Due to the special design, the size of the diameter of the handle bars of an A-bike is larger than a normal bike.
As I want my A-bike to share the same head and tail lights conveniently with my another mountain bike, I have to buy a pair of extra brackets.
To find another bracket for the rear light to fit the seat post is easy but it is difficult to find a bracket to fit the handle bar of my A-bike!
I have tried to buy an oversize or flex-tight bracket online from the small parts store on Cateye's Website. However, the online purchasing program told me that they do not ship the item to my area after I have filled in all my information carefully and clicked the "submit" button!

Tool free, fits standard and oversize handlebars from 22.2mm to 31.8mm.
Model: 533-8827

H-31 Oversize Bracket

Model: 533-8825
$2.75 (USD)

I have also asked the local distributor and dealers for the oversize or flex-tight bracket but they can only provide the normal size bracket which is the same as the original bracket comes with the head light.

H-32 Bracket

Model: 533-8880

Then, I decided to modify the bracket myself finally.

Yeah, great job! Thanks for the pictures. Looks so cute with the red glow at the back.

(And what a lovely big photocopier you've got!) :D

I took the photos in my office actually. :P
I used the photocopier as the background because I couldn't find another suitable background in my office.

Just disassemble the original head light's bracket and attached the part which locks the light onto another bracket which is supposed to be used for attach a tail light onto a seat post. :P
