Dec. 27, 2005 - Vintage Tombstone

So I bought this 1973 tombstone taillight from some woman on the Prairies since her husband had left it in the garage. I guess he moved out. Anyways, she said it was perfect but it was a little pranged and I had to repair one of the mountings. I was gonna stick in on my newer hog. I thought it would be, well, kinda cool to have a bit of vintage iron riding shotgun. I needed some adapter stuff and new gaskets and all that and so the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like more trouble then it was worth.

I decided to buy an after market wide tombstone that was guaranteed to fit (and it nearly did, I had to make my own gasket) instead.

I got a light with a bulb. I can't stand that LED junk.

Now I'm gonna take that vintage light and put in on the wall of my guest bathroom.

I picked out a spot just under the harley mufflers and beside the timing cover (over from the mirrors, up from the air cleaner).

But maybe it'll be better on the other side of the wall so that it sticks out into the main part of the house.

Then I can have it light up when the door is closed.

It'll be an 'occupied' sort of thing.

Now I gotta find a vanity plate like 'leaker' or something to stick on the included mount.
