thanks,
Hugh

I don't know if it qualifies as an answer, but I did this:



I wired them to be running, turn, and brake.

I'm actually wanting to replace the stock tail light with two round ones, but thanks for the reply anyways.

I've been trying to visualise something that would look good, but I keep locking in on the gawdawful Caddilac lights Mickie used when he built his bike on the 'Tuttles yelling at each other" show.

Yeah, '59 caddy lights work on some vehicles but 2 on that chopper were hideous.

I think a single 51 merc tailight would look nice on the BA/SM rear fender.

I was thinking of two lights like these

located about where the license plate is now with slight bob job and the license plate below the lights. This would go with the dual headlight kit from thunderbike. The idea is to accent the whole vertical twin aspect from front to back.

I bet that a '40 Ford deluxe taillight would look good on a TBA or S/M.

You can also use '47 Packard tailights, turn 'em sideways. Thats would be sharp.

I hadn't thought of car tail lights. Can you guys recommend some possible british cars?

Thanks,
Hugh
