Default License plate bracket and tail light in!

Finally got my license plate bracket and Model A tail light in.... Im definitely ordering the 'Stop' lens for the tail light. Both look nice and are very good quality especially since I paid $60 for it. Only problem is ive never worked on motorcycle wiring before lol... wonder how hard its going to be. Only two wires so I guess it cant be too hard.

I had one of those Road 6 set ups. I gave it to one of my brother's 17 year old son and he put it on his Yamaha. I was actually suprised at how bright the light was. As for wiring, one wire to the running light, one to your brake light. The mount is the ground

Cool thank you for that info. I noticed one wire was headed to each of the lights so I wasnt sure how it worked but thought it might of been grounded that way. Im not sure if they drilled the hole out to the right size or not. It looks a little small but im surprised you knew which one it was. The speed holes are fairly unique though.

Now im stuck looking at two different lenses. One is the normal 'STOP' lens and the other is the same lens but with a blue dot on the lower running light. Different but I kind of like it... problem is I dont know what it would really look like on my bike.

One thing you may want to consider is getting some of the powder coat off of the bracket around the srew holes for the light, and where the mount will attach to the axel. I have heard some say that the PC can keep it from getting a real good ground. If the mounting hole is too small for your bike, you'll have to open it up some anyway which will take care of part of that problem
