    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am looking for a rear light that will look good on my cafe seat-I dont want anything huge and was thinking of doing the recessed light thing or get one that mounts low on the side with the plate--Any help would be great----Boy my rear looks nice--Paints only 1st coat though---Thanks!!
 
side mounted mini cats eye with blue dot would look retro cool
 
Is this what you're refering to, sonny?

Zerofreeze,

I seriously want to see more pics of that bike! Especially since it's shaft drive.

that is close but that one is a full size not a mini cats eye , just looked i cant find the mini cats eyes , but i do love catseyes thier so late 60 early 70s cafe cool
 
Nice bike! AND you're from R.I. Bet you don't see many cafes around there. Why don't you add the smaller tombstone light sold on ebay? Not really much is going to hug that fender since its been bobbed. You may end up with some type of side configuration, but just be sure its visible from both sides. Post more pix when you can-thats a quick turn around from the way you bought it.
 
Ya RI is mostly Harley guys and the younger crowd is rice burners-I didnt want to fit in-I had sold my ps3 on Ebay so had a good amount to spend on her-So I was up one night and just ordered EVERYTHING--Was strippng the tank the nite I picked up -Painting and wet sanding (In my bathtub!!,The fiance wasnt to happy with that :) and now almost done-- I still may try to do an oval chromed trimed light and recess it in the fender-Side mount scares me a little -just want to be seen when brake is on......but bike is orange-dont think anyone wont see me--I did weld the modified mounts for the seat yesterday and will take the pics of it tonite- It will help other guys with cafe seat mounting --Thanks for the tips guys!!
