Spotlight For Bonneville

I'm interested in installing a spotlight on a 2014 Bonneville t100. We're they common in the 60's or in any era? Do you have suggested installation locations? What does the install entail? Will the spot light swivel? Are we running a cable to the battery and installing a switch? Can anyone recommend a chrome kit spotlight or provide all the items needed? Can you guys send some pictures?

 

I found this one here in California, but it is kind of expensive. I instead have purchased some aluminum flat bar to make a mount for my Legend, and plan to make my own. SOMEDAY along with the hundred other ideas I need to find time for in my old age. .J.D.

Lol, you better just do it. That clock never stops running. I saw it too and ordered it.

 

The reason I did not buy this [besides it being too expensive] is that it mounts on the front downtube. The bike I want to use it on does not have a downtube due to the engine being a stressed member instead, so I am going to have to fabricate something. I bought the material last year, but still have not gone any further. Show us a picture Gil'. ...J.D.

 

I don't have your skill-set so I have to buy finished products. I've update my pic.

 

I was referring to a picture of the spotlight you added . ...J.D.

 

I needed to update that anyways.. I just ordered it last night so it it should arrive in a few days. I'll upload the picture when done along with my pedestrian slicer.

 

You should.get it pretty fast. Carpy is close by. I have no choice but to make up something on mine. It is a 2000 Triumph Legend. I think I'll make a mount to attach to the side of the radiator. I.want to find a old style round light. It is just for looks. Ii'll hide a relay and fuse somewhere. When you cannot buy it, you have to make it. ...J.D.

 

Your bike is looking good, love that colour scheme.

 

Very classic, period mods (slicer and spot) will fit that look

 

Are there any other mods that I'm missing for the period?

 

Sleeveless denim, drum brakes and crossplys, all things your do not want today for safety sake enjoy your great ride

 

Wire wheels, are you in socal?

You could always fit a tank rack [nut remover as we called them] these are fitted with suction cups instead of being bolted on

Actually like the idea of a tank rack. Especally with a suction cup mount. I find myself wanting to ride one of my naked bikes down to the hardware store to get some small stuff, but no where to stash the goods on my way home. Did not realise anyone was making these. Less than $90u.s. in the states. ...J.D.

 

Aye, they have been a recent part made by Motone and they sell a quite a few a lot off retro bikes like Bonnies and the new Enfield Interceptor go for them

 

I have a couple of bikes I could use that on, being that it is removable. But primarily my Legend. ...J.D.

 

I need help installing this to the the headlight. I can't make sense of it. It came with a a ground wire and the light fixture which has one wire attached to it. Should there not be two wires coming from the light? One to ground and one to power the light? I bought an additional piece of wire.
