HSATF Member Posts: 2 03/13/08 3:57 PM	Tags : None Hi everyone. I have a 98 Shadow ACE that I have had since 1999. We have been all over the western United States in that time. I have hit a deer at 60mph about 2 months after getting the bike. One issue I have is that the bracket holding the headlight to the chrome housing keeps breaking. I have replaced this 5 times in 8 years. I am planning to add some rubber dampeners between the frame and headlight bracket to see if that helps. Does anyone have this same issue and how did you handle it... Thanks Ron

Hope someone can come in and address that issue. Upstate, SC 1998 Black and Chrome (the sexiest color) Patriot Guard Riders of South Carolina "If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans"

Might just need a small piece of inner tube or some thin cork gasket material added between the bottom of the housing and the top of the bracket. Not too much or the headlight will dance on you. Adding slightly longer bolts with Nyloc nuts would allow you to tighten the bolts just right w/o over tightening, and at the same time keep the nuts from backing off.

Did hitting the deer have anything to do with knocking the front end out of whack and causing that headlight to continually break on you? I trust you'll get your problem resolved with the help of a few members here on the forum. Again welcome and I am looking forward to 'talking' with you more in the future. alepel "Ride with the Spirit always, and in all ways"....hombldr
