Summary

My ATV (four wheeler for those in the southern US) is 30 years old. It camewith a single halogen head lamp which left a lot to be desired.

As a fix for this, I ordered a set of "Nilight 2PCS 4 Inch 18W Flood Led LightBars" off Amazon. These ship with a wiring harness connected to a roundrocker switch but no discernible way to mount the switch to the bike. Thisis the part I made in order to facilitate mounting the switch neatly to myhandlebars.

The link to the LED lights I used is here: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XRPZF6Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There is really nothing special. If you use my GCODE, it is for PETG on theMK3S. Pick either single color or two color. No need to print both. The two

color version simply has two filament changes so that the lettering on thetop piece has contrast. The single color one prints all the way throughwithout stopping. If you use your own, I generally put supports in thecavities for screw heads when they are upside down just to keep themclean, but otherwise no supports are needed. I use PETG all the time anddon't own any PLA. I'm certain PLA would work just as well for this thingthough. If you have temps that melt PLA at the handlebar you need to runaway anyway.

Assembly is pretty straightforward. I used 4 x M3x35 cap head screws, 4 xM3 standard nuts, and 2 x M3x6 cap head screws for the guard.

First, insert the nuts and test fit everything together to make sure no trashis in the way of the screws, etc. Then take it all apart again, leaving thenuts in their pockets.

Then note the position of the wires on the switch, and disconnect them.Snap the switch into the top piece so that the tang in the 9 o'clock positionis seated. Then you can route and reconnect the wires.

Hold the back piece behind the handle bar and lay the front piece over it.You'll see that you can push the switch and wiring into the cavity in theback piece, allowing the wire to exit to the right and towards the center ofthe bike. It should lay in the recess between the two parts and feed out thenotch.

Squeeze the two halves together, seating the top part over and around thebottom. Then insert the screws, tightening them gradually in a rotatingpattern so that even pressure is applied to the handlebar, and so the partsare seated together evenly.

The guard is optional, but should help prevent a lot of accidental switchflipping. Since these are not switched with the key, it is possible to runyour battery down by leaving them on while the bike isn't running.
