Platinum Boarder Posts: 1220 Re:Passing lights 2 Years, 9 Months ago   I ended up putting a toothed washer in between the housing and the mount. Even with locktight, it would still swing around. You just got to disconnect the wires going to the lamp in order to get the washer in place. Oh, only the left one in case anyone's keeping count.

Where did you get the washer and what size was it?   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/10/05 15:11 By mikedsokc.

You decide.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 7097 Re:Passing lights 2 Years, 7 Months ago   OK, I thought I was the only one with these issues and I thought it was because I replaces both sides, one at at time after dropping the bike or it falling in the driveway. (yeah, I know what your thinking). What I did to keep the lens from turning was I put a little clear RTV on the rubber ring before putting the lens back in. The rotation of the light was stopped when I put Teflon tape on on the threads and tightened it down good. Now I'm just trying to get the dam things level with each other.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/10/05 19:05 By Darn.   Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #229291 Big Dawg (User) On the road again . . .

I've also had luck using black RTV on my Chopper mirrors. It stays tacky and is great for keeping screws from turning under vibration. That's what I used. I tried the loctite, but that alone would not keep the housing from moving back and forth. (My buddies did get a kick out of it for a while.) Just disconnect the wires from the back of the lamp and you should be able to put one in between the housing and the mount. Been steady ever since.
