CBAIER1206 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 I recently relocated my CDI and voltage regulator to the front and eliminated like 19 miles of unnecessary wire...LOL and in doing so changed up my tailight. I'm in the process of cleaning up the back of the bike, making my own rear fender which will get welded to the subframe and going for a custom look. Anyways, I figured I would post a how to on how I did the brake light to maybe add another flavor to what others have already posted! I bought a red L.E.D. light from a RATV here in phoenix for about $20 bucks...it's clear but shines a really bright red... I then took the aftermarket coolant resovoir bracket and made some modifications to it to get the light to mount to it... The 2 outside holes are for the light to mount to it and the center hole is to run the wires through, here's a pic of it mounted to the bracket... Here's a final pic of it mounted to the bike...it's hard to tell with the rear plastics off but it's tucked up underneath there pretty far to where you can't se it unless you actually bend down and look, but at night, no issues with people behind me seeing me!

ban99 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 That's a nice clean look. You really need to post some pics of those fenders your making. Are they going to be full or race cut? Quote
CBAIER1206 Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Posted January 16, 2009 I'm gonna cut the rear plastics slighty, not like most drag banshees you see though. I was referring to the grab bar in the back, I'm bending some pipe and gonna make it come to a point and then weld it to the subframe. I'll post pics as I go... Quote
