Exclamation Joker Machine Street Bob tail light alternative?!?!

Like every other street bob owner, I am on the same never ending search for an alternative tail light. I just stumbled across a cafe style tail light set up from Joker Machine that appears to have the same or similar mounting locations as the street bob fender. It is described as "universal fit" but I don't want to find out the hard way that "universal" means I'm going to have to drill more holes in a fender that is famous for cracking...is anybody running this tail light or heard anything about it? Thanks!

I can't figure out how to post a picture from the Joker Machine site so if anyone is capable of doing so that would be appreciated...

If you go down to the pictures it looks to me like they show it mounted on a SB fender...and there is an open hole.

Personally, I like the 'ol limp dick tailight.

For $300 I like mine just fine. I took it off and painted it satin black and it looks better.

That style of tail light has been in use on Triumph motorcycles for a while. The usually run about $40-50 and come in chrome. The one from Joker is LED and powder coated. I goes if you don't wand an LED one you can get a regular one an paint or powder coat it or mayby it is available in black. Lucas electric was the original manufacturer but several companies make them.

Joker makes nice products. But as the other poster said $300 is a lot of money.
