Default Race tail w/ tail light

I'm considering changing out my tail fairing to a race tail. Anybody have any suggestions on how to mount the tail light or maybe options on different tail light?

I don't think so. The stock mounting holes for the light are little brackets. If I remember correctlythey areeither fiberglassed in or a plasticeextension of the fairing..

That'swhat I was thinking. Try to find some sort ofLED configuration already setup for a taillight, maybe from some other type of bike or maybe a trear drop like the 50's hot rods.

I've seen a couple of bikes with 2 vertical LED strips, I wish I knew what kind of bike that was, but that would look cool too.

My friend just got a LED brake light from a semi truck store and fabbed up a bracket that hangs it where the license plate use to be, and his plate is down on the swing arm. Just a brake light, no turn signals or anything. He then made a mount for a fog light for a headlight. He keeps his race plastics on the bike and if he needs to ride on the street just bolts these on and goes around.
