The Rude Bracket

My Wildman headbox on my touring bike droops a little on bumps, and eventually rubs on the front wheel. It's a useful "glovebox" but the droop is down to a poorly designed bracket and clamp, but this simple fix stops the droop, even if it looks like something a bit naughty.

The bracket screws onto the top face, of the Wildman headbox mount bracket, protruding down through the middle and rests against the underside of the stem, preventing the droop. The bend points down or up depending on your stem angle. I have a steep, longish stem for a higher handlebar, because I'm now officially an old bugger on a bike.
