What do you want to see pictures of I have lots?  do you just want to see how I mounted it?  do you want to see it on the bike?  or details of the light itself?

all of the above?  

I'm very impressed with this build, the bike looks fantastic. I was daydreaming about tapering the rear pillion on my bike and searching for others who have done it already led me to your build

I've got a trailer light bolted on where the tag light goes right now, and I was curious to see what your tail light looks like

picture's upside down for some reason sorry about that

In the mean time here is the unit I bought.

So far I have been very happy with it both the quality and the brightness.  I have followed my wife many times and don't have any issue seeing either the tail light or the brake light.  The license plate light that is built in is limited but legally it should count.

Ok so here are the details people wanted.  Let me know if I didn't answer any of them.

Below are two pictures of the final tail light in place.



and from an angle



I plan to put a decorative piece over the 4 holes from the stock light


Now as far as mounting it.  I wanted to keep part of the stock mount since I liked the rubber mounting of it.  I cut the stock mount at the first step cutting off the old license plate mount and keeping the license plate light mount.  From there I added a plate mount that was made out of stiff aluminum.  It has a tab that fits up in the back of what is left of the stock mount.  I added two holes for the tail light bolts to go through and that clamps the two mount pieces together.  You will also see that I had to add a downward cut to the center hole, that is for the tail light wires to go through and not be forced in a tight bend.  Also you will see the tails of two small screws high on the mount.  I added those as extra security holding the two pieces together.  That way I can take off the tail light and the license plate and mount doesn't fall to the ground.  Those were drilled and then the old mount was thick enough I tapped threads in it.  It wouldn't have to be done but I decided to do it that way.

Here are some pics.






From there the bolts of the new light just goes through those two holes with nuts on the back side.  The wires I soldered to a stock connector and then fed those wires up through the stock routing and connected them as they connect from the factory.

Also to note if it is not clear in the pics, the license plate piece that fits behind the stock mount had a slight bend in it about the top of the plate so that it angles back and provides clearance from the tire.

So if you want to save the old mount you can pick up a spare in the market place pretty cheap.

Also on the holes what I am planning to do is this.  I found grommets at the hardware store that fit.  Then I am going to make a fancy T in polished aluminum since my wife's name is Theresa and it is her bike.  Then I will attach the T with nice polished button head bolts through three of the four holes and it should look pretty good.  I will post a picture once it is done.

The bag mounts I love now.  Those are stock suzuki bag mounts but I had them powder coated when I had the rims done.  Now rather than being bright in your face chrome they just fade away and you don't even see them half the time.

How's everything going up there with this machine? Anything new to report?

Hope all is well
