Default Skull Tail Light....

I don't like it, well I like the looks, but it don't fit evenly on all the sides. theres also a gap on the top that you really can't notice unless you get real close to it. but I know it's there and its bothering me.

with brake light off

with brake light on

Nothing personal, but too much cheese. Skulls are cool, but if I roll up behind you, I'm snickering at you with that on there. Plus, if it's got gaps...not a good look.

Sorry man, but I am going to have to agree with BH. It looks kinda cheap.

I don't know, its nice, and I happen to like it. But unless your really into skulls, and have a bunch more skull stuff on the bike, it "might" be a bit over the top.
If the "gap" isn't too bad, maybe you can get some of that chrome door edging to put around the edge to fill the gap.

I have to agree, I love skulls, but it does look cheap. Sorry dude, but sometimes less is more, if you know what I mean.

looks good. but i know what you mean about things not fitting perfect. bugs the hell out of me too. sometimes you can destroy something trying to make it fit perfect. run with it and after a month or two youll forget about it not fitting perfect.
