Re: R26 Rocky Point switch clearance problem
Picture one shows the switch installed. It's retained by a hose clamp which makes for easy in and out. The switch interferes with the standard reflector.
Picture two shows a shallow divot pressed into the back of the reflector to create clearance for the switch.
Picture three shows the front of the reflector after the divot was created. It doesn't have noticeable impact on the lighting.
Picture four is the LED bulb with heat sync that I wanted to use. I bought it from Mike Benoit. It's brighter than the H-4 bulb but doesn't focus properly with the old lens. If I did a lot of night riding I'd be looking for a better solution.
When I had the H-4 conversion in place there was no issue with the Rocky Point switch. If your switch is the same size that might work for you as well. I hope this is helpful.
