my 78' CB550. made the tail from a piece of steel and shaped it around a tail light from a Roadstar Warrior

I really like that setup DBC. Any side-on pics, would love to a better pic of the tail.

Hey, someone tossed up another post leading me to this site...which reminded me of how you asked about what I was going to do for blinkers....here's a pretty slick fork type blinker. They are stupidly expensive, but cool nonetheless....and on second thought....I don't think you have fork tubes that are 39mm or larger...but at least its another idea right?

It an integrated brake and indicator setup. Turns out the indicators would have been too close together, so I have added some... Looks like this now

Seems the Chinese tail light "system" is popular. (combo tail light/brake light/turnsignals) Here is mine, a bit utilitarian, but I don't ride a lot on the street, and it has to be easy to remove for track days.....

GUMBY!

dremeled this rock city pan out and glassed a squarish dual intensity light from O'reily's (9 bux) .Took some black vinyl tubing from Lowes and sliced it open to trim the raw fiberglassed edges. I was pretty amazed how it turned out .

they work awesome you can run a resister on one line to dull it down a bit, then jump that wiht a brake line they have 12 v resisters built in so you will be fine they are like 10 bucks on ebay

Do you need a resistor for the front brake switch AND the rear brake switch? I.E., two resistors?
Would you mind going over again how you hook them up to work with the brake switch?
