BUMP
there's no way that any cable lifting headlight mod should cost anywhere north of 300 bucks or 100 for the matter...has anyone built an ace hardware special? |

I don't get why these designs all require having to get out and manually close the lights. The pull should be able to pull the lights up, and push them back down with one lever. There are so many examples of this type of design/engineering on other applications. It wouldn't be that hard to adapt. And a DIY could put it together cheap with parts from a bicycle shop and a little fabrication.
I made a remote seatpost clamp for my mountain bike that lets me loosen the seat, sit on it to drop down, and clamp it tight again with one lever on the handle bars. Handy when heading down an extreme steep hill and you need to get the seat out of the way to get your butt down, without getting off the bike to adjust. Then to pop back up, pull the lever to loosen clamp, a spring pops the seat back up to height, push the lever to tighten. This is just an example, but the same principle could be applied. Maybe I should make something. |

I've got a kit drawn out but need my car to get it perfect. I plan to have a kit soon and it will allow the lights to go up and down all from the cockpit; I don't think you want to go out in the rain and lower your lights everytime they are up. It has no struts and thus is lighter than the GT kit. Yes, it is to eliminate the electrical stuff of the original setup and thus reducing weight. I would not make a kit unless it surpassed all previous designs, bolts directly to the existing holes of the electric setup, is a complete bolt on no brainer installer, and will be very affordable. Did I mention cheap?
