Anyone know where I can get these tail lights?
« on: May 29, 2008, 09:29:42 AM »
I saw this bike searching on ebay and love these lights and would like a set myself and was wondering if anyone has seen anything like it.  I sent a message to the lister but havent heard anything.

I've seen something like that on JC Whitney's site, and also Dennis Kirk.

So I am guessing they made the bar custom?  I have found some really sweet ones and am going to order them next week.  Now just need to make some sort of bar to hold them.  not to mention they are black already.

Looks like a std. bullet light - they're pretty much available everywhere - I can get them at my local bike shop for about $20 for a pair. I found a set on ebay:

I noticed those are 3-wire lamps.  Are you planning to replace all three rear lights with a set of those and use them as both brake and turn signals?  They're nice lookin' lights.

They look an awful lot like stock HD with red lenses. If you get them with running lights you get 3 wires and just use dual filament bulbs

They were from Dennis Kirk at $25 a piece. 

I didnt realize they were just common lights.  I received a message back from the guy and he said he would sell me a set for $75 plus shipping.  I think I can make them for less than that.

I would think those were turn signals and the brake light is mounted on the other side near the rear axel with the license plate holder...
