Mounts for Lightforce on Expo Rack
I've been asked by several people how I mounted my Lightforces on my Expedition rack, so here you go. The bracket is a piece of 3mm aluminium, with a right angled bend in it. This is then riveted to the rear and the underneath of the rail at the base of the front fairing.
This shows the brackets looking from the rear (held by 4 pop rivets)
A view from the side, showing bracket passing under the front rail
Same sort of view showing rivets under the rail
A better view from the rear
There are a couple more photo's here http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=860, but the best ones are in this post. I added the pop rivets underneath because there was a lot of play in the brackets when simply fixed from behind. With the bottom rivets they are rock solid. Still to make up my mind whether to run the wiring through the fairing or under the rail - suspect it will be under as I am going to fit a rubber strip across to reduce wind noise, and this will hide the wiring.Disco 5 HSE Lux
