[Closed] Connecting a 'Spider Eyes' light to the bars, not the helmet - any ideas?

Hello folks,

My Spider Eyes trout-light is amazing, but I'm getting tired of the weight of light on helmet, the cable, and the v. large battery pack in my jacket rear pocket.

Ordered a Diablo for the helmet, and want to use the Spider Eyes on the bars instead.

Anyone got any good ideas for a mount or solution to get this done? Ideas greatly appreciated!

I have a spider eyes, and I'd say it's way,way too narrow a beam for the bars. Any bar movement and it will be pointing all over the shop.

hmm, thats a reasonable point. Hadn't considered the beam spread. Bollocks!

Spidereyes is great on the bars I wish I had kept 2 for myself
I have some mounts that will fit straight on the helmet mount

last night I had a altercation with a branch and broke my Spider eyes helmet mount, any chance you have some of those left for sale, also I would buy a bar mount too?

Does anyone live near him that can give him a nudge??

I sent my Dominator to him for repair months ago and getting no replies whatsoever to regular query emails 🙁
I'm getting to the stage where I'll probably drive there myself to get the fekin thing back to see if someone else can repair it!! 🙁
