Bobber Tail light- Idea/Solution Compilation

I chopped my xj750 and am looking for ideas for a simple custom tail light; ways to mount, aftermarket lights of the right size to work with space requirements (over fender, under fender?) etc..


I figure many of you have already bobbed your bike and have figured out a tail light solution that works for you; why dont we get a list started of pics of some rear ends ( :wink: ) for inspiration, for anyone at this step in their build to get ideas from, now and in the future.
What say you people?

(If there is already a post similar to this, forgive me, I was unable to find it)

 

I'm trying to find an answer to this question before I chop mine

 

I bobbed mine out over the winter and I used a 2 inch bobber taillight and plate mount from TC Brothers. Here's what it looks like on my bike.

 

I've got some bullet lights on mine. But it's not really a bobber.

You could probably find something that fits in the open frame tubes.

I've got these for my plate: http://www.customdynamics.com/illuminat ... _Tag_Bolts

I got the ones that also light up with the brake/turn red in addition to the plate light.

 

only real shot I have of the rear of mine...



side mount plate with a model T tail light. both purchased from ebay. (although I believe TC Bros is carrying a similar setup now)

 

Ive been trying to figure out the same thing. In MA i have to have the brake light mount in the center above the rear tire so those neat side mounts wont work for me.

 

Thanks for the pics guys! I too, am curious to see any center/above the tire mounted lights.

 

6 inch oval led running / brake light meant for semi trailers would fit with a small metal plate near chopped zone. Chrome ring removable on this model.

 

I cut down a harley bobtail fender. I cut down the inner edge to match the shape of my 700 fender inner edge. That allowed me to use the bobtail rack, as well as the bobtail under-fender light. All I had to do was to ground the light right to the fender, as Harley does it that way. I'll try to get a pic into my gallery this weekend.

I mounted mine to a homemade sissy bar

I like the simple, understated look that doesn't draw too much attention . . .

I must have missed it, I don't see any pics or ideas for a tail light?

the bars look good though...

 

You have Robert E Lee's ANVIL !! ??

 

Nevermind, I'm a dumb&ss...next time I'll look at page 2!

 

Good pics. Keep 'em coming!

 

I went with a 6" cats eye on the back of my 550 Secabob

 

Did you have any issues wiring this... Loads and stuff? I have a cafe seat ready to moint and no clue about the tail light.

 

My tail piece is absent here but I used Harley turn signals minus the stems with red lenses that bolt through the frame

 

worm hasnt been on since 2012, not sure he will see my message. He has covers over his exhaust pipe, obviously for rain and, do they blow open? Does anyone know where to get them?
