I've spent many an hour looking online for a tail light that will mount under my plastic tailpiece, with no luck. Anyone know where i might find something that will work. My rear fender is dented and i would like to clean up the rear and get rid of fender all together. Thanks.

I'm not sure how much fabrication you want to perform but a ZX12 taillight can be used without too much hassle. I did that with mine using a couple of "Z" shaped brackets bolted to the two rear tailsection mounting holes. If you need more info just ask.

Later, Doug

i built a bracket that uses a clear lens LED in about an hour the other day. it's super bright and cost 20 bucks so i'm happy but i think 900s have a different tail piece.

Try a Harley catalog... JPCycles.com or DennisKirk.com - both of them have lights that work great under the tail section.

I bought mine w/plate mount for about $20.

I bought one of these. It's very bright and I'm happy with it. Shape looks to be right.

clear tailights are not legal in all states.
custom dynamics is another good source.

on my 650 streetfighter project I'm going with the tail light from a newer ZX6. It will be my turn signals also. Maybe you can find a newer light that works for you.

Thanks for all your input. I decided to go to my local salvage warehouse and find something that would fit. I think this is off of a 440 ltd. $10 and a little bodging and... Now i just need a corbin gunfighter and a set of rearsets maybe some clip ons....Or maybe i'll just put the money into gas. Thanks again.
