THE RD FROM HELL

Maybe something like the second gen SV650 tail lights.

Or would that be too modern?

I had that same idea, but I'm not sure how well they would fit into the roll under contour of the tail.
I also had the thought of an early GSXR taillight, like this...

But they're getting hard to find, and find cheap.

I suppose I could always try fabricating something from scratch. I've never tried before, but if OCC can do it, how hard could it be?

First RD400 I owned was stuffed into a TD3/TZ chassis complete with TD3 fairing and TZ750 seat - I still have the seat!

Cut out a hole and weld in the tuning forks disk i sent you and place a dark tinted light behind it 8) Seen some stuff i think its called Gator Glass on some crazy sport bike ! Something like this but cool ...

It's a scan of a print that was subjected to Analog Photoshop, so it's not a great picture....

It's a TD/TZ chassis with TZ tank and 750 seat with an RD400 stuffed inside. It had RD forks wheels and swingarm and was a dog that never ran.

I also had a TZ250B that came with a 78 fairing and RD350 motor that I sold many years ago. It had a stock (chopped about) headlight shell mounted in the front fairing bracket. That one was returned to full TZ spec and sold.

Sick. Just fucking sick! Thought the first iteration was pretty sweet, but this is a whole new animal.

Yours should even say "Live Free or Die"

I like your first iteration of lights. Whichever way you go, I am sure it will fit in the end.
