Rubber or soft plastic sleeve between your headlight bracket clamps and fork legs may suffice.
If not you may have problems with blown headlight bulbs.

I found this out by doing the same as you've done, mounting the brackets directly to the fork legs.

Your project looks good, please keep posting photos.
Good luck

Thanks for your input, I’ve had the headlight ridged mounted in one form or another since 2015, this bike has an H4 conversion and I can’t recall going through more than one bulb in 25000km.

Do you use a sealed beam headlight? Maybe they’re more sensitive than an H4?

I’m going to try and put an h4 LED conversion to help reduce wattage draw, this would likely also reduce vibration issues

I live in an area with an abundance of wildlife so I don’t ride at night on any of my bikes, if I can avoid it.

A little more progress on the bike! A 600km round trip to my friends this weekend to powder coat the frame and swing arm and bits.

Laverdaroo:
Nice, exciting times when progress is apparent ansd a huge leap forward is taken. Looks ace, well done

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Your newly coated frame does looks great - I'm slightly confused when you say it was a 600 km round trip has Canada gone metric to annoy the USA?

Yes we did go metric in 1975…

We’re stuck with a bit of a hybrid system as most construction materials are sold in inches.
