Title: Cadillac tail lights again...
Post by: ventoracing on October 18, 2013, 16:59:48 PM
Finally got around to fixing and reinstalling my Cadillac tail lights... Had them originally on the bike 5-6 yrs ago and they worked and looked great for a few seasons and then one couldn't take the rough roads around here and snapped. This time I made a set of custom brackets to help support the extra weight and hopefully this set will last.

That looks great.  I want do do a set on mine, or maybe something else unique...

I see your brackets, but I don't see them on the bike?  Where are they hiding?

Good eyes, the brackets are not yet on the bike as I'm giving the paint overnight to dry. They will go on in the morning before we go out to ride.  Brackets mount under the taillight and across to the rear bumper as described by others.

I've been wondering how people expected these to stay in place.. Looks like a good solution.

Fellow riders I had the privilege to see these mounts up close . Very well hidden and should work out beautifully for the long haul . Great job on this mod vent  ;)

Michael Egan, a good Irish name :). So do these lenses fit into the bike light housings? Or different lights altogether ?  Great look indeed.

You have to buy the lenses and the lights that come with them. The light housing fits inside the stock turn signal brackets. See the Mods page for a detailed write up.
