Default Tail Light?

When I was growing up I remember the guys with the long forks, high sissy bars with fishtail pipes. OK now that everyone knows I am old does anyone remember the purple tail lights those bikes had?&nbsp\\; They had strange look going down the road which I remember until this day. Can you still get them? (probably not for my bastard child Deuce).
Thanks in advance
Glen

you are probably referring to the blue dots they use to put into their taillights wich made them look purple, and if so, yes you can still get them

JCWhitney used to sell them. Probably still do. I believe you had to drill a hole in the taillight to fit them in.

I just installed the Kuryakyn&nbsp\\;LED brake light and signals on the rear - it's the panacea set up - has the blue dot and looks great.&nbsp\\;
