my guess is in lieu of a having that extra (expensive) daruma, you could have not taken off that extra tab, opened up its hole with a drill, and used the daruma thats already at that fastening point. in my experience there's enough bolt for a little more to be sandwiched in there. the angle

You’re right, Peter. In fact, the Blue Lug page that talks about this “hack” shows them using it to mount a front Koma light (clear lens). One thing to note; the Koma light mounting brackets are all M5, rather than the M6 standard for most dyno headlights. That’s why this tab works so well - one

Thank you BB for sharing. Nice, clean mounts for rear lights can be hard to find/improvise. How do you like the light? I'm not familiar with that one. JohnS On Saturday, February 4, 2023 at 8:46:33 AM UTC-5 brok...@gmail.com wrote: > I was looking for a better way to mount my Koma rear light
