Laydown taillight

Finished installing my Drag Specialites Laydown taillight.

Pretty easy to do. One does have to make more holes for the adapter to fit.

Since the first pic was taken, I've added bag rails, red lens with run lights, went solo, and found a rare solo luggage rack.

Ride Safe,
Eddie

I guess I should have made a more angled shot. The laydown light and license plate flow with the curvature of the fender.

But, thanks for the reply.

Looks great! That taillight would look even better with the plate relocated underneath.

Thought about that, but would have to do something with the holes left by the relocation.

Thanks for the idea.

Lookin' good!

The tutone green combination is one of the nicest ones that I think Kawasaki ever did on the Nomads.

I found this small plaque in a jewelry store at a local mall . It says "Not all who wander are lost" which suits me just fine ( there were many to choose from ) . I used automotive 2 sided tape and done . Just though I'd throw that idea in for covering those holes .
Total cost was about 7 bucks .
