Good as new..lol. Now i suppose ill be buffing nacelle.... lol. Ditched signal lights...nobody pays attention to them here in this state..... cow bell dinged up...might fix or just drop tube down and change......

Having wired many many ole iron i thought the wiring looked pretty good....surprisingly. Not a fan of tapped up wiring when its hidden... off to do a little tig welding on passing lamp bracket during lunch.. Idoits drilled a bunch of holes and sheet metal screws to hold passing lamps. Major failure....

2 things i learned working on guns and motorcycles . Some people should not own dremels or drills....WTF the PO was doing to these passing lamp brackets i have no idea. U think after the first sheet metal screw didnt work he would have firgured another way. Guess i should be glad he didnt have and arc welder ...lmao. Put a collar on for heat sink and tried to save chrome...solid aluimn bar in middle so no sharp welds screwing up holes for wire....run a same size drill through after...good as new. If this crap is boring just tell me to STFU.......i have been helped so much in past...just sharing how i fix stuff i cant buy.
over the years that type of spot and blinker holder design was changed, because you could not stop the assemblies from walking around while riding
I have seen many home ideas and screws is one of them , but some of those the wire ran inside the tube to the center for an exit and the sharp screws made sure it was shorted
the flat tab bracket that holds them in place has a detent for a set screw and that was Harleys idea to keep them from turning - it didn't work well
we have this glue I found that is clear and it hardens only 1/2 way and even applied thin it does the job - holds wires in place under fenders kind of thing and much more
In the mid to late 80's I had one with the tabs made on(all one piece) If I had a problem with them now I would cut the tabs and weld em on and send off to chrome/powder coat.

That would be the way to do it...if i was rechrome or powder...
