I need the adjuster clip/bracket that attaches to the bottom of the headset and headlight. Anyone know where I can find one (or even what it's called)?

Does the Rally use that part? I think the Rally headsets have a threaded hole at the bottom centre, similar to the 2 x side fixing screws on the sides.
The headlight is adjusted by using a slot in the large chrome rim. |

Not reproduced, rare as hens teeth, and extremely hard to find. I spent a fair amount on one about 5 years ago at Scooter West; I think their last one. I will see if I can find a photo of it installed. |

They combined the two worst headlight mounting designs ever to make a mutant super-bad design.
It's impressive in its own way. Also proof that letting the engineers drink at lunch is a terrible idea.

When they got up to leave I read the back of their vests. Elevator contractors Two bikes here without that clip. I prefer them without it. Aren't the three and nine o'clock thingys enough tension for you guys? Easier to install/remove/adjust. |

I hate that thing.
I did buy a spare a year or so ago. If you can't find one online hit me up. |
