That Sux Joe! It is suppose to be great riding weather here this weekend. If you want I can text you pictures of my ride, maybe even a short video. . . .

Really that does suck, I hope you get her back on the road quick. That is how my luck goes. Did you take any before pics to compare the brightness?

So I ordered a new LED headlight and was installing it last night. I took some before pictures, noted a spot on the wall for alignment and took the light off the bike. While taking the headlight apart, the head on one of the adjusting screws is stripped. In checking this morning, there are none to be had within 150 miles. I ordered 2 new screws and nuts from Partzilla. In talking with Tanner to figure out my delivery options, overnight, Saturday delivery is $85 for $10 worth of parts. Monday deliver is only $25. So I'll lose the weekend. Isn't it always the way???
Sorry a little too late but I have Allen head screws that fit the headlight I would've sent you forgot the shipping

That's one expensive screw. Maybe you could just hold it with a handjob for $10?

AWESOME


I was wondering when someone would get the subtle joke.

Don't forget to use a washer.

Thanks Mike. A true friend indeed. I did take pictures. I will post them when I get the after pictures.

I would have liked those over the Phillips head screws. I ordered 2 new screws and nuts and they're scheduled to be here Monday. Not surprising, they predicting rain for Monday and Tuesday. Go figure!

I replaced mine with socket head screws from a local store. I could take a 3mm long ball allen for my 3/8 ratchet and adjust it by hand.

I know this is too late, but you should have called me, Joe. I could have grabbed something from stock at work.
