Topic: Best way to mount after market ass light?

[ncstatecamp]

So I got this nice after market taillight from fleabay and I'm not quite certain the best method to mount. Anybody got any tips?

fab a 2" x 8"(if your hoop is 8" across) plate that lays across the hoop, with a mounting tab that can be bent down(towards the rear of the bike) to secure the light to.

I you have a fiber glass seat and it has a large enough flat on the back I would unbolt the light from the back plate and mount the light through the seat with the plate on the other side of the seat. If not just weld a flat tab at the back to bolt the plate to.

just make one.
I did with basic garage tools - angle grinder, dremel, drills, polisher, and a lot of patience.

I mounted it to the stock rear fender *cut down and powdercoated black to make it easy, but you could figure out a way to clamp or weld it to the tail rail you have. That way you don't have to f-up your rear cowl.
