CB1300 headlight bucket replacement

[Lord Popgun]

I see in the "Possibly Related Threads" that Lord Popgun found cracks in his headlight shell after installing a Road Comet.

In my case, when I installed the RC for the warm weather like I do every year, I had a buzz.   Couldn’t find the problem.  The mounting for the RC should not cause problems. So I did a deep dive and close inspection revealed I mounted it with the headlight trim ring contacting the RC.    After removing everything so I could epoxy the headlight shell I put everything back and made sure the headlight was in the RC opening with no contact.  No more buzz.

I think the RC vibrating on the headlight led to the cracks in the shell.  Since it is almost time to dismount the Street EX and remount the RC I will be more careful this year.
