The best arrangement, imo, is the dyno BM 4D Lite Plus (or sumthin') --
very bright with decent 30 second stand light) paired with blinking
Superflash. There are other fender- and rack-mount German tail lights
including another Toplight, very bright, that mounts to the rear of a
Tubus-type rack
That is very useful news, since just this evening I had planned to sit down
and ponder ways to mount a new, Costco, $7.50 Cree flashlight to my new SH.
I'll get a large P clamp and bolt it to the left fork leg's rack braze on.
