Bouncing headlight
Well, I bought a headlight off of a guy who had a Night Train. The light is rubber mounted.
It bounces fairly bad at night...nothing I can't deal with. Well, it bounces at red lights when my hand isn't on the brake, but at speeds ofcourse the bike smooths out. But my concern is that it will kill bulbs.
Is it bad that I put a rubber mounted headlight on a bike with a rubber mounted engine? Maybe they rubber mount the softails because they have a counter balanced engine?
So my question is, will the bouncing the light is doing kill the life of bulbs? I hope not because the light output of this light is great!
PS- prior to this light I had the hood and the top mount headlight...so I don't have any bottom mount lights to compare to.
