I can see where this is going. Next will be a revival of the thread on how to keep the "boys" cool and comfortable under the tight padded bicycle undergarments. :goofy:

ps - let us know if they hit your fender while riding...

my concern exactly! great idea, but no matter what i do, my forks dive to with about 1/2" to 3/4" from hardstop, so i think i would hit those lights.. :fing02:

I agree. I have a set of HID lights that I was planning on mounting in the same fashion, but after taking some measurements with styrofoam and twist ties for safety, I realized that they would be crushed on the first hard stop. Worse, I would probably lose my lights and my fender.

I decided to mount them off the front fender bolts instead. I have all the hardware, just waiting until I get time to mount everything.

OOPS! I'm a dumb ass! I cut and pasted the wrong link!

I've edited it now. Thy this one:

Visor Scratch Repair and Prevention

I have an old visor from my Shark helmet with a few scratches, and one area in particular that's seemingly scratched beyond repair. At $79 a pop, I figured "What the heck, let's see what I can do." After all, I've already bought a replacement, so I have nothing to lose.

I started with a variety of plastic polishing compounds like Plexus and Novus with mixed results. I also tried a couple of products from my local bike shop that were guaranteed to "permanently and invisibly repair scratches in visors and windshields." Again, it's better, but not yet good enough that I can ride without looking through an annoying area that's a constant distraction.

Then I came across this:

Visor Scratch Repair and Prevention

I plan on giving it a try this weekend. I'll let you all know how it works out.

Unfortunately, I don't have any true "before" pictures, but I will take a couple of snaps of what I'm starting with and show the final results.

Anyone else tries this or have any other suggestions? I'm game to try anything on my old visor!

So here's the stuff I use:

RainX

I've used it for cars like the MG with notoriously poor wipers and had great success. It simply causes the rain to bead much like it does on a waxed surface, and the combination of the dispersed water droplets and increased run off improves visibility dramatically.

Perhaps the best solution would be a combination of RainX and a simple improvised backhand wiper.

The inverted-tip causes the LEDs to emit a broad beam which avoids "spotlighting" the gauge face near where each bulb is located.

I don't think you would have any bright spots anyway. Interesting that if you look at the spec, you'll see the bulbs you chose have the narrowest beam pattern of all possible configurations. Only 32 degrees. I was more interested in the colour. I've just ordered some LEDs for my RWB 6th gen, and I ordered 2 different sets to compare colour and brightness. I'm planning on cluging up a dimmer when I do the surgery.

Of course, I'll do a write up with pics for anyone who's interested.
