Hey.My R1 tail light arrived this morning.It's a 2000-01 clear tail light with red inserts,
made by Clear Alternatives.It is a good quality light and I only gave $30US for it on Ebay.
I had to thread the mounting holes,and trim a little tab off of the bulb sockets on the
bike.I had some stainless fine thread screws and they worked great.I started this morning
taking ever thing apart so I could make some tank spacers.My rubber mounts were shot.
It took me about 2 and a half hours to strip the bike down,cut the spacers,talk to the
delivery lady(OOOLALA),fit the light,and put it all back together again.Works like a dream.
The reason why it took me so long is because i had to flirt with the delivery lady,and check
the fit of the tank.The light by itself should take only a half an hour.

Here is the tools I used.
flat and phillips screw drivers
6mm allen wrench
10mm and 12mm sockets
rachet and 6 inch extention
1 inch tubing cutter(for cutting tank spacers out of 3/4 sch40 pvc pipe
razor knife/utility knife for trimming the tabs on the light sockets

PICS are GONE never TO return.

Looks like...

Not sure why, but I always think of Johnny Five when I see those headlights.



Kinda reminds me of Sigourney Weaver . . .

that looks a lot better than i thought it would! just too bad the colour doesn't match the paint job on the tank

wow! that looks really nice! if that's plastic, it shouldn't be too hard to paint to match the tank..
nice, though! very nice!
