Too sad  :( for anybody taking this seriously. probably not even legal in most states to have a tail light mounted down low and to the side.

Tail light location is up to state law!!!
Here in NC ,we don't have to have Turn signals, but the way the law reads= If the bike has turn signals installed, they MUST work properly!
Also what is stupid!!! Helmet required but (law states) no eye protection required.

Oh $hit i forgot that NC was a helmet state.... that significantly reduces my desire to move there.  :/

but here in OH a lot of people run the single tail light/license plate bracket -- it's popular in the bobber scene.
