Any suggestions for a small but bright rear tail light. The big brick is starting to bother me. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the diamond turn signals from carpy's. And I also want a bigger headlight. But first I want to change tail.

How about a reproduction Velocette/Vincent "STOP" light with LED? I have one on my Suzuki bobber. It's bright and looks way cool.

i just bought the diamond signals from carpys today too!  i really like the joker machine led brake light on dime city.  not sure how i'd make it fit but i'm sure i'd find a way.  next year though...

i also got the 7 inch headlamp. i put a wire mesh stone guard on there too.  get one of those.  looks pretty boss.

this one from ebay, came in just a few days:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/181610063284?lpid=82&chn=ps

it comes with clips but i safety wired it to the headlight ring.  i left the safety wire ever so slightly loose so when i remounted it to the bucket, it tightened up pretty snug.  i attached it in a "x" direction versus the "+" direction.  personal preference.  i think it looks cooler.

Would love to see some photos of the Diamond Indicator Lights when you guys get them installed. I have been looking at them thinking I may get them to.

Thanks for the photos dviscusi.
Very nice. Will they fit on to the 1 and 2" bars that are available.? I would like them to come out a bit more.

they way you see that they're sitting flush against the headlight ears and the license plate bracket is the actual size for each signal.  carpy includes hollowed out mounting bolts; shorter ones for the rear and longer ones for the front set to fit through the headlight ears.  i imagine you'd have to fabricate something yourself or maybe talk to carpy when you're ordering them and ask him to fab something for you.  seems like a really cool cat.
