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.

Mike the bike with the dual led rear brake is the Suzuki sv1000 or 650 I think..
