Let me see your tail section with lights

thought id toss mine in the mix here... tail light is a little crooked in the pic, has since been fixed... pardon the thrashed garage :-[
 
ehhh... since we are talking about taillights... here's what I've done for my Bobber projects:

I found a vintage 1900's carbide bike/carrage lamp at a local antique market...cut out the guts, wired it up with the internals from a cb750 taillight and voila:

Certainly bright enough.. I'll mount it on my Triumph Bobber at some point... I just have to figure out how to mount the place bracket to it...

Man some of these lights are freakin sweet!. I love the carbide lamps, just a really awsome look. the old ford light is cool as well. I strongly considered red lensed blinkers or clear lenses with red bulbs/leds.
I found this thing at cyclegear, and thought it would work out a bit different, but i actually really like the way it looks when held in place properly. The only pics i have are ziptied in... Its now mounted with right angle brackets to the rear holes of the frame.
