Hi all,

I'm wondering if any of you are running a BarSack and a headlight
mounted to the hole in your bike's fork crown. A lot of factors that
would determine if the bag would block some light from the headlight
(e.g. HT height, stem height, type of headlight) but I'm wondering if
your installation was successful.

Thanks!

I found that it did interfere a little on my 56 Sam. Ended up getting the Gino light mount and it worked perfectly.

I did a "BarSack hack" and mount the 'Sack to my Mark's Rack.
Didn't like the idea of having to get the Nitto thing that's a total mono-tasker. Seems a bit un-Riv-ish to me, actually.

My light (B&M Ixon) mounts to the front tab of the rack, so there's no interference.
(Sorry, I know this isn't really an answer to your question, but I had a similar concern so just avoided the problem altogether)
