|
Hello, I need to put a taillight on my bike and could use your opinion's. I would love to just cut the fender mounts off and leave it as is but there's those pesky laws. I've attached some photo's of a few ideas-not sure i like any of them. What do you think? I had one more option with a shortened fender and the small taillight but I guess 3 photos is the limit.

the classic bates tail light is what you need, mounts low, has a plate mount and can be found at a lot of MC shops or swap meets

Would you mount that light to the stock fender? I have a chopped version also. I just hate those ugly fender mounts.

I wanted something a little different so this is what I did. The tail still needs final paint and have to find a place for the PIA plate.
