Mounting Varia LIghts on a Second Bike

Garmin offers the Varia out-front mount as an accessory (although my local bike shop hasn't been able to order one for me). I like this mount even without the headlight, because it is longer than the Edge out-front mount, and allows access to the charging port while using the Edge in portrait mode. (With the Edge's out-front mount, I had to use the 1000 in landscape mode to plug a charger in while riding.)

But I can't find seat stay mounts for the taillights.

How can I get seat stay mounts for a second bike?

Assuming you don't want to simply order another post mount from Garmin and want it to be on the rails, the only thing I found online was from www.racewaredirect.co.uk - picture attached. This solution wasn't going to work for me so I just posted an alternate method I came up with using the post mount on my seat itself, that thread will be live soon I imagine...

I may have missed what you were saying or the mount you were after, but did you try Google?

Thanks to the two who replied, but I want the mounts that go on the SEAT STAYS, not the saddle, and not the seat post.

I have bought two taillights, and when you have a pair, they can act as turn signals (and as brake lights). So I want to mount one on the left side, and one on the right side of the rear wheel.

This is the mount you want. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/shop-by-accessories/mounts/varia-tail-light-multi-location-quarter-turn-mount/prod521659.html

Garmin current has the wrong image posted for image 1. If you look at images 2 and 3 you will see it is the item you want.

Alan,
Thanks for getting me to the right place! Somehow I missed the "Accessories" tab on the Varia Taillight. You get to the same place from the headlight, as well.

Now, if I can just talk myself into paying $20 each for two more mounts. It's interesting that you get two different mounts with the $70 taillight, and they cost $40 if bought separately. Good old fashioned profit motive, I guess.
