Morning all, does anyone know of an easy solution to mount a Sirius Exposure light to the bottom of a Garmin mount? There seem to be solutions available from several Google searches but nothing particularly clear about which bit(s) are needed and whether it requires a bit of bodging.

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

These guys have lots and lots of mounts for almost everything! Really well made stuff! https://www.racewaredirect.co/product-category/exposure-lights/page/3/

Thanks for this ... has Cycliq mounts and adapters which are worth their weight in gold.

I don't understand why Cycliq don't sell the rear mount separately.

I have mine on an under-seat mount ... because of the way Cycliq have made their action cam mount, you might need to put a small spacer bar between the two.
I've never got the straps on the Cycliq seat post to work securely enough, and much prefer the action cam mounts.

I'm fine with using the seat post mount, but it's awkward to move it between bikes. Since my old Fly6CE broke, I solved the issue by buying a brand new Fly6, so ended up with a second mount.

What do you have on the bottom of your Garmin mount? Is it a male quarter turn fixing (used for Varia headlight and the likes of Fabric Lumaray & Ravemen FR160)?

If so, then you'll need a Garmin Quarter-turn to Friction Flange Mount Adapter:

...plus the Exposure GoPro fitting Light Clip

I use the Exposure Joystick in a similar way, the mount is the same for the Sirius.

Put the two together and it should fit on the bottom of your Garmin mount, providing it's one with the Varia mount on the bottom. If it's not, you could try using a third-party Garmin Edge mount with GoPro blades on the bottom and then just use the Exposure clip linked with that.

Thanks for the detail. It's just the standard Garmin mount that came with the device that I'm using (https://www.garmin.com/en-GB/p/114881) so assume that the two items you've highlighted would work together to give the desired outcome.

Should be OK then, although there's been a few versions of the out-front mount - the crucial part for the adapter to fit is the two lugs underneath (one shown in arrow of picture).
