Help with id of tail light for cafe
« on: February 05, 2009, 05:42:16 PM »
I saw this tail light on a bike for sale on ebay. I think it would be perfect for my project.
The owner didn't know where it came from.

Any body recognize it.

Check the chopper catalogs like Drag Specialties. I've seen them there with a range of taillights in the same housing.  They're inexpensive.  RR

Thanks that is very close to it.

I have searched all over the j and p site as well as drag specialties but that is the closest to what I am looking for.

Looks like the shrunken version of the cateye....nice looking light..

I always found the original Lucas light that fit that type of holder, never held up well.. cant imagine them going more than a few weeks on a brit bike!

I used to run that type holder with a lucas type light, but it had a Cats face (panther) on it!!.. they were cool..
