Rupert, I have not yet bitten the bullet on this one but am looking hard at
those lights or similar lights, as they'd seem to give more light than the
MotoLights...

While I can't really tell from the photos online, nor have I seen the actual
PIAA bracket, but I get the impression that they are mounted using the side
reflector mounting bolts on the forks.  If this is the case, and it's just the
one bolt to the bracket, then I'd think you should have no trouble rotating
the light up or down at mount time?

Sure it'd be nice to be able to change it more readily on the road but I don't
yet know how much light they throw, or if being so low is going to affect
effectiveness (heh!), as I always thought the low mount of the MotoLight was
more about conspicuity than illumination.

Let us know how it goes,
