I
never did like the big plastic taillight, so I decided
to replace it with an old style "guidelight"
taillight. After removing the plastic taillight I saw
that the fender would need to be modified a bit to fit
the classic taillight. |
I
looked through my parts stash and found an old-style fender
section that already had the correct mount for the classic
taillight. Actually it was in better shape than the one
I had, so I had it powdercoated flat black to match the
rest of the fender.

I
used the Dremel to make a hole for the blue dot insert.
Short history of the blue dot; long ago docters had a
blue dot in their taillights so the cops would know not
to pull them over for speeding when they were on their
way to an emergancy. When the hotrodders found out they
started fitting them too, haha. |
In
Holland we are allowed to run dark blue plates on historical
vehicles. My bike was registered in 2011 so it had a modern
yellow plate. I found out that I could officially apply
for a historic registration that would allow me to run
a blue plate, so that is what I did. That is why it has
a different number now. Next job will be installing wheel
covers on the front wheel.
