I have plans today, so I’m heading out early! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that’s why I got the tail lamp secured (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce
A laser might be handy? Maybe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The tail lamp sits on the frame side. I’d have to drill holes in the mud guard\u2014three of them.

If I mess up, there’s a 100% chance of ending up with ugly holes. Hmm… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought I’d dim the lights and use a laser to mark the position… but that turned out not to be practical.

This stud-like thing was in the way, so I adjusted things to cut it off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut it off, drilled holes, marked the position, and lowered the tail lamp since it was touching the cowl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here’s how it turned out.
The tail lamp is designed with safety in mind\u2014it can be adjusted front and back with spacers (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bolt with the broken corner was a real struggle\u2014it’s stuck pretty tight.
I could get it out, but it would cost more than buying a new one, so I’m leaving it (^_-)-\u2606 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
