Handlebar light mount

Hi, I've got a Haibike ebike with a Bosch display unit mounted to the stem. Its so wide it doesn't leave enough room on the 31.8mm part of the bar for the mount for my light, which is a MaxxD from Exposure. Thought about putting the light upside down but that would foul the headtube. I know Exposure do a stem bracket but its £25 with postage from Exposure's website, which seems a bit steep. I could try the 25.4mm adaptor but that pushes the light out to the side where the bar is swept back meaning the light won't point dead forward. Anyone know an easy solution or anywhere the Exposure stem bracket is available for less?

You could use two holders to hold it more centrally, as they do tend to tilt the light to one side slightly.

Hi Leigh, many thanks for that. That just might do the job, provided it gives enough clearance. The Exposure light is a bit awkward, with the bracket right at the front, meaning quite a bit pf clearance is needed behind. Anyway, though, a fiver's gamble seems worth it! Thanks very much again.

Exposure lights.. They cost a bomb!
