Headlight mounting

[watchhislegs]

I'm full of questions today; anyone got any suggestions on how to mount a single round headlight to a set of Aprilia RS125 forks. I'm sure plenty have done it with RGV front ends and they are probably a similar diameter fork leg.

I'm going to be running a set of N2 clocks but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to bracket them onto the ignition mounts on the top yoke as I've done this before.

Your help would be appreciated

Thanks

You could make brackets for mounting the headlight which are fixed to the top & bottom yokes.

Looks mint that mate, only problem with mine is the bolts ar on the back side of both yokes. I'm going to have to have a bracket off the mid-point of the fork leg between the yokes I think. Just out of interest what did you make the bracket out of?

Hi
I use 10mm MS bar which is nice and easy to bend if you heat it up & for the brackets & lugs 2mm MS plate.

Check out this thread from Ravedaddy, he made some smart headlight brackets

Cheers fella, looks interesting. Your RD is looking amazing by the way. Swingarm conversion looks really clean and the rest of it is something else. Top work.

Cheers matey ;D that mobile phone your buildings gonna be
You & me are the only ones on the forum with single sided swingers, I think
Here's a tip for ya, I think the only thing that ruins the look of the swing arm is the ugly chain guard with the rear brake line on top. I've run the brake line inside the arm so I can do away with the chain guard & achieve this look.
