Or go for a P7 torch from DX. Half the price, ok you may need to take a spare battery on a ride, but they're cheaper, simpler and more versatile.

Note that the mount is actually a headband and needs modification to make it work as a helmet mount. But at least the plate is there and just a bit of velcro and sewing to finish it off.

P7 801 torch from Deal Extreme, same power as my Hope HID but tiny, light weight and lasts about 2.5 hours. O, and there $14 each...

Simonm. What mount are you using for this torch

The five mode 801 is my choice of helmet light. CLICKY Forget the flashing and the SOS, the other three modes gives you more options and illumination time.
