HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT

 After 10yrs, the clear plastic of the headlight has become so yellow stained even Autosol-ing it as suggested by my mechanic couldn't deliver the brightness of a clear plastic. Upon close inspection, there is a minor crack at the edge of the clear plastic, I still remember, from a flying stone, good enough to cause rain drops to seep in and dull the bulb reflector. The original replacement cost RM180 😵‍💫 so I bought a 3rd party equivalent via eCommerce for RM24 (transportion free). That is 87% cheaper. It has an aluminium case and I choose the chrome plated version, impressed after seeing it on my friend's bobber. It is of basic quality and the photo shows it after being Autosol polished. OK lah. The bracket quality is basic but I believe sturdy enough, well, what do you expect for a budget but functional option? Still, I'll expect the headlight to be very clear and that's the important thing.

PILLION RIDER ACCESSORIES

Ever since I been rejuvenating my bobber to make it road worthy lately, when I told my mechanic wifey is desirous of hitching a ride with me around the local neighbourhood, he laughed and said let her. To him the ride on the solo seat of the hatdtail bobber was hard enough, what more, the pillion rider seat where there is no rear suspension. He said it will most probably be her first and last ride.

 There will be no special custom bracket for my pillion rider seat merely a cushion and suckers onto the rear fender so when she's not coming along I can take it off. I bought the pillion rider footpeg which will be attached to the frame and am thinking of putting it on the lower frame to ease the knee joint. The bobber is now at the mechanic waiting for a change of headlight after a stone cracked the edge of the clear plastic enough for acid rain water to corrode the reflector.
