Get that thing done already! Once you do, I can ride across town to go for a cruise with you.

Hi Adam, getting ready for Christmas, but in January, I plan to get serious about the bike. It should be done by spring man. Good to hear from you..,.

Ordered a new headlight for the bike, https://www.supertorch.com/en/index.php
Anyone ever deal with these guys? If it shows up, and the government spy chips allow it to work, I'll bolt it to the reflector tab and it should work well.

I went with this recommendation..

Its been fantastic. I also have a few torch (adjustable beam) lights. If you get yours, it will be interesting to compare.

Well it showed up. not sure it's worth the trouble of posting pics as much as warning the rest of you to avoid them! The light is only 260 lumens, the charger is not compatable with American power outlets, and the thing arrived with a dirty lens. WTF. Anyone know what I'm supposed to do with a charger that has 2 round contacts that are twice the width of an American 110v outlet? This $50.00 light is useless.

either rewire it using compatible plug or buy a universal adapter...

Hi Kim, nice to hear from ya. I found this, http://www.amazon.com/Euro-to-US-Adapter/dp/B0030W1BRQ
Guess I'll try and see if it works. Still think the light was a waste of money, but at least it ought to keep working once the adapter arrives.

That will do the trick.....I have a few here that convert to Australian mains you can plug several different non Aussie plugs into them...
