My new tail lights arrived yesterday! The rear of the tail piece is about 8.5" wide, and these lights are about 4.25" in diameter, so they'll just fit. They're made for school buses so they should be uber bright. I actually considered using a single 7" tail light with separate turn signals, but that would have been too cartoonish...

These lights are huge:





I've decided to make a hugger fender for the rear, instead of using the stock inner fender:





I actually had a pretty productive evening:

There's no doubt Buddy Rich was a very nasty and unhappy man towards the end of his life.

I'm surprised your former boss got away with something like that. I'd imagine somebody would call him on his bullshit sooner or later.

cool, glad to see it moving along nicely. Gonna take the thruxton to the drags tonight, I'll post about results this weekend. the only stock time I could find was in a magazine test, it ran a "corrected" 13.36. I'd be tickled pink if mine will run an 11.99. A couple weeks ago I had a big homer simpson "doh" moment. when I bought the wrecked bonnie I checked to see if both rear sprockets were the same, and I'm absolutely sure I counted teeth on the fronts also. apparently I counted wrong because I found out online that the bonnies have one less tooth in front, so I went out and re-counted both. yup, sure enough - free upgrade. I gotta remember to to watch the tach tonight, since I'm used to high revving bikes I run straight into the limiter all the time on the thrux.
