Default The 59 Cadillac Taillights !

I wanted to post this picture of the 1959 Cadillac taillights I put on my 1994 Nostalgia. I also made adapters and bought the yellow ones for the turn signals. The bike just won best in show at a local bike show. How do like them?

I love your bike...really dig those nostalgias. That particular color scheme is one of the best Harley ever put out. I also really dig a 59 Caddy. But...in all honesty, those 59s don't do it for me. IMHO, just a set of trim rings on the stock signals or better yet, the HD bullet signals would look great.

Congrats on the bike show!

panasoffkee ..... Well ya asked for an opinion so ...... First off it's your bike so you can do what you damn well please ...... BUT...... if it was mine ...... i would loose the luggage rack get some hard bags spray them in the color of the bike two tone and then bring them out of the back of the bags just the chrome and red showing ..... and also loose the front ones .....it looks like a push me pull you .... they dont flow with the bike they just look placed .... Just to let ya know i have exactly the same light's on my Road King Custom excluding the front ones and the bags are leather ..... It's a bike with the right look just need to tweek it a bit ........

Default caddy lights

I would like to see them make a mini version set of the caddy style lights that would fit in the stock Harley bullet signals. I would definitely have a set on the rear of my bike

Default caddys

I think they are to big for the bike and you have to use the bar with the big turn signals on it to get them to fit. The size of the harley bullet turn signals is about right for me . in scale of the bike the caddy lights they sell are to big maybe they would feel better on a dresser and be more in scale. That,s my personal opinion. I work in a visual field i get paid to see and have a pretty good eye
