Post 39: A headlight from Lowe's garden lighting department

   I already used a $25 black yard uplight from Home Depot as the headlight on Bobber 1, so I went back looking in the same department at Lowes, and found a different flatter LED version. It will accommodate a $12 standard 6" halogen headlight from AutoZone. I had to cut a hole in the back to fit the reflector in and let the 3 pins out:


  I covered the hole with a circle of soft rubber with 3 slits for the pins of the bulb, held in place by a hard 4" rubber washer attached with brass 8-24 screws and acorn nuts. 
  Only 3" thick and 7" in diameter. Looks darn good for a $40 motorcycle headlight!
