Retrofitting rear light to a brooks saddle

[kermit_xc]

any ideas what to use to bond the plastic harness to the Brooks saddle (Swift). It looks like a pretty good fit actually - but I don't want to damage the leather with drilling anything, it would have to be a glue / epoxy that bonds to the tool bag mounts (titanium)



any suggestions good people of EBR?

You could always move it to the rack:

Or make a T bracket and attach it to the seat post with a clamp. Or some of the Brooks have a place to attach a saddle bag that could be used.

Done, zip ties did the job

Can't beat zip ties. A ready made solution from Busch and Muller:

Hey,

Thanks for the tip!

Quick question : Do you think you can install one of this "lightskin" led seatpost on specialized turbo? http://www.lightskin.org

I don't mind to get rid of existing saddle lightning, as long as it does not break warranty.
Is there a clean way to disconnect original rear lights?
What do you think?

Also, could you provide more photo of how the rear light cabling is done? (from the saddle tube, to the actual LED) that would be awesome.

Thanks!

I have a B17 and zip ties worked fine.
