I have a 22 aeroad slx8 with the cp0018 cockpit. It has the front mount with flash 800 light that attaches underneath the mount magnetically. This mount bolts to the underside of the cockpit. https://www.canyon.com/en-us/gear/accessories/bike-tech/lights/canyon-frontlight-set/10006598.html

I have a new aeroad CFR being built currently. IT uses the CP0048 cockpit, which uses a different mount. Canyon offers two mount setups for this one, each with one bolt on top and one on bottom.

This one seems to be for the garmin etc. only, no light provision underneath: https://www.canyon.com/en-us/gear/accessories/bike-tech/cockpit-and-handlebar-mounts/canyon-gear-groove-computer-mount/10012928.html

This one is obviously paired with the light, but it is out of stock: https://www.canyon.com/en-us/gear/accessories/bike-tech/lights/canyon-flash-800-gear-groove-frontlight-set/10012984.html

My intention was to use the same flash 800 light that I already have and switch it between bikes. But, if I had to buy a second light, I would do that. But it seems that I don't even have that option. Now I am going to have a $12k bike with no way to mount the proprietary light on it.

Aside from "wait and see if Canyon makes the proper mount/light kit available in the future", are there any options out there for installing the flash 800 light on the new cockpit?
