01 Tail lights
I have a problem with my tail lights dropping down or going straight up. They are loose and I have tried to do anything and tried to figure out how to tighten them down where they dont wobble... How can I fix this?

Your talking about the turn signal stalks,right?My right side turn signal stalk would always vibrate loose.I would just stick a 1/2" wrench up the inside of the fender and tighten it up,but it would soon loosen up again.Not as bad as yours but it was still loose.Last year I had to rewire the entire rear end of my bike because I bottomed out and tore up all the wires that run along the rear fender.When I took eveything apart,I realized the chrome fender strut cover was cracked and wore out where the turn signal bolt goes through.I got a new strut cover and rewired everything.I used a lock washer and some Loctite on the signal bolt when I put it back together.Hasn't come loose since.

Yea man that is just what mine did, I didnt know if it was a place to tighten up in the fender or not, thanks for the help... I will have to check that out for sure tomorrow morning before I go for a little ride. I was looking at getting new smaller lights but I am just going to keep the ones I have and tint the lens... Thanks again!

You might get lucky and just have to snug the nut up a bit.The bolt runs through the signal stalk and fender.You'll see a nut on the inner fender.It should be a 1/2".Snug it up and you should be good to go!

I went with chrome versions of these:

Real small, but bright as heck. And an excellent price.
