Bobtail tail light
Hi all, I've been searching and searching for a replacement taillight for my bones. The only thing I've seen that comes close is the HD tri-bar LED one, but I'm dead set against LED's - they clash with the old-school look of the bones imo.
What I would love to see is something that fills the width of the bobtail, maybe in a catseye shape, without a license plate mount. I have a side mount plate holder that I'd love to use, but hacking the plastic mount off the stock tail light assembly would probably end up looking like a$$ even if it was done perfectly...
Anyone seen anything out there that fits the bill?
Thanks

Dave. You got a link to 'Hank', the biker build off guy's web site?
Here's a couple that are on J&P Cycles site, prices are not too bad either.

Just make sure they will fit your fender. I think most of them may be made for a 7" fender and I think your Bones has a 9" fender.

I had the tribar on my XB and thought it looked petty good with the stock fender....
I have since taken it off... and am in the process of mocking up my new fender...
I had looked high and low for something that filled the space (important to me) and looked halfway decent...and settled on the tribar....
anyway just my .02
BTW... I am going with a brass side mount with the new fender....
