I’ll simplify will any universal headlight with the rubber mounting straps fit the dtr and not be at an angle due to the clocks etc

You will have a bigger issue getting a cheap enduro light to pass the mot.

@calum I know it’s not e marked but I’m not using it as a road bike so no issues there bud and it’s that cheap that it’s only about the same price as a number board so it don’t really matter

Calum

@declan Yeah next point, they didn't get an e mark for a reason, they're utterly useless, might as well hold a candle.

I'd just get a numberboard if you're not going to use it in the dark.

declan

@calum I’d rather keep the light though mate since I have the wiring and such although I very rarely use the light only if I’m riding til dark and need the cars to see me as I ride home

Calum

@declan Cars to see you? So you need it road legal. So you need a road legal light bud.

@calum sorry I got it wrong they are “E” marked have you tried any headlights for the dt with the rubber mounting straps bud?

@declan had one on mine and pointed at the mudguard due to the angle since clocks get in the way. Waste of time buying the cheap Chinese ones, don't fit right, looks crap and absolutely shocking build quality and brightness. Mine was one of the polisport ones.

@glynn123 damn

declan

@glynn123 did you not figure a fix for the clocks I kinda expected the light to look like this” \” due to the clocks pushing the top out

Glynn123

@declan never bothered if I'm honest mate as had other stuff to do on the bike before that, when I done my USD forks I just scrapped the light as wouldn't of suited the build and was a mess anyway. I don't suppose a bracket for the bottom mount would be hard to make but would be a gap between forks and headlight I'd imagine.

declan

@glynn123 I’ve ordered one I believe I know how to do it and if not I’ll make it fit anyway

declan

@glynn123 thank you for your responses btw dude

Glynn123

@declan no problem mate good luck with fitting it, might be abit different fitting than mine was so could be easier. If not it's not a bad job making headlight brackets anyway

declan

@glynn123 this one is great fits real nice very bright even in daylight and the plastic is nice and flexible https://imgur.com/a/uyy5P

@declan looks Alot nicer than the one I bought mate, nice choice and glad it's worked out
