Topic: Anyone know what this tail light is off of?

[Old75_ratafe]

I found a pic of this tail light last night and contacted the owner but he can't remember for the life of him what he got it off of.  I think it would be perfect for my bike any ideas?

damn your good terry... lol   I like this one the originals just look so out of place to me... I tried one off a goldwing but its a bit awkward.... IE way to big.

[Terry in Australia]

No worries mate, I might buy one too! Cheers, Terry.

[grumpy]

LUCAS!!!

That's it.
I just could not recall what that style is called.

Looks gooood!!!

[scunny]

being lucas, it might not go for long, cut out due to vibration, drizzle, sunshine, darkness, or many other reasons. might have to look into one of those myself.

I put one on my bike but modded it a bit to accomodate the indicators.

So who do you think you are decrying St Joseph Lucas Prince of Darkness and his intermittent electron system

They are a near bolt on for a 78K, don't know of other year fender holes
Smooths out the back end some.

Ah ha and its confirmed ty grumpy.  I am gonna get that when I get my cafe seat and euro super bars I think.  Although these tales of electrical gremlins might make me resolder connections lol

and I agree it does smooth out the look a bit.

What was that old riddle again Bryan? Oh yeah, "Why do Poms (Brits) drink their beer warm? Because Lucas makes their refrigerators"!

[bryanj]

Its why old Brits dont have regulators, just Rectum Friers under the seat

[Really?]

I put one of those on momma's ride.  See pic in sig.

As any British car guy knows - the only time you have a problem with Lucas electrics, is when the smoke escapes.  Therefore you should always carry a screw driver / 1/2 & 9/16 wrench / duct tape / elastic band (don't ask ), and one of these -
