Flashlight mount, not sure. He volunteers time at a local bike charity, it might have been donated. That trip was in Florida in Feb, thus early sunsets on that trip. At least one day we were still riding after sunset.
I found that I used the drops very little before I lost weight. But after I lost about 15 percent of my body weight, I started using the drops a lot more. At your weight of 320, I can see that leaning forward that far would be quite uncomfortable. Understand why you want a more upright position. Now I use the drops about a quarter of the time.
