Norm light!! ( and new bag, valve and other lights)

[Pablo]

It's been stinking hot here...I'm dripping sweat. Around 85° or so.

Anyway I finally got around to working on the Norm light. It's the bomb! I scored a FREE bike bag, got the other light set for $14 at Fred Meyer (20% off all bike stuff!!), and of course my new pet....valve.....

Here the bag and valve:

..Some kids get all the cool toys.

So jealous.

Really not that much dough into this at all. I think that's best part!

where did you get the air filter?

where did you get the air filter?

It's an Amsoil crankcase breather filter...I adapted it to fit. I am coming up with a sellable option....I sorta butchered that one. In some of my other threads you can get a better view. There some other sizes I need to try.

i will probably end up getting two dual levers like you got (off ebay) but what kind of shifter is that?

 

[Pablo]

SRAM Twist shifter, normally on the right.

cool petcock, looks pretty heavy-duty
could you tell me where you got it ?

 

[Pablo]

Most well stocked hardware and plumbing places will have them - warning - they will be about $15. I am looking for lower cost sources.

Pablo - I'm curious about your "Norm light", and what you got at Fred Meyer. I am in need of a new light, as I LOVE to ride at night during the summer, and the round head light on your bike is probably the "Norm" light, correct? The other light (Bell) is probably the one you got at Freddy's, correct? Please elaborate more on the Norm light, and if you've already done so (in another thread), my apologies!

[My wife works for Freddy's, so I take advantage of of her employee discount on anything for my bike! ]

I was at Fred Meyer last night, and found a light for $10, so I bought it (minus my wife's 15% discount ). It's the Bell Dawn Patrol headlight, and it's VERY bright! Took it out last night, and I had NO problems seeing at all, plus I reduced the vibration on my bike with a few tweaks, and the light was quite steady. I thought about purchasing a Norm Light, but wanted to give this a try first. Love it!
