Hi Guys,

So I have this sweet fairing and made a bracket to mount it to the forks and all. Works very well and is strong, taken a fall or two and just a spray can to repair. The inside of the fairing at the headlight area is a bit narrow for the stock headlight vibration dampening mounting hardware. So i just ignored it and bolted the light directly to the bracket holding the fairing, I was expecting the bulb to go due to vibrations but not as quick as it does. It works on road, and the bulb will last for long time, but as soon as i hit the dirt, max a day or two.

Was thinking of just getting a smaller headlight and then use the stock vibration dampening hardware (rubber gasket and bushing setup), but was wondering if there aren't any other bright ideas out there, cuz i dont really like the idea of a smaller light.
