billmac Posted July 13, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 13, 2015 I can never find anything with the search. Someone posted about making a bracket for the Harley taillights and can't find it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowpuc Posted July 13, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 13, 2015 Hmmmm,, maybe its because you spell "Charles" (as in CharlesMac) "Bill" (as in Billmac) so you very well may be trying to search for "harley taillights" by typing in "Charles is looking for Hardley lights that Bill wants to put on the back of his Yamaha"... Sorry Bill, will have to buy ya a hotdog at my next "Greet - Meet and eat Meat" to try redeem myself from my spider web woven with sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billmac Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted July 14, 2015 nope. the Harley lights are right but the Yamaha bracket is thin and broke from the weight of the HD lights. the thread I was looking for he said he made a bracket from flat steal and it will never break. that's not the one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billmac Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted July 14, 2015 Puc you having a meet and greet on 7-28 or 7-29 in Muskegon ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videoarizona Posted July 14, 2015 Share #6 Posted July 14, 2015 I'm interested in same concept. Mounting the HD heavy duty license plate frame and lights is a bit much for the license plate frame on the bike. Be nice to figure out some support... david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted July 14, 2015 Share #7 Posted July 14, 2015 This is gonna be interesting. I have a couple of those Harley Tail Light assemblies that are dedicated to the 'someday' pile. Never gave it a thought that they might be too heavy.... I'd be interested in hearing about a brace or?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billmac Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted July 14, 2015 Think he said he used the stock bracket for a pattern and made one from flat steel. Hope he reads this and chimes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert2006 Posted July 14, 2015 Share #10 Posted July 14, 2015 If I remember right, he simply used two L shape brackets and used them to attach the top of the HD light unit to the bottom of the trunk. Looked for the post but cannot find it:confused24:. I used zip ties and attached them to the bottom of the trunk so that they do not vibrate and are supported from the top and bottom. You cannot see the zip ties at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billmac Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share #11 Posted July 14, 2015 Found it. by Sleepy2 on 7-5-16 License plate mount needed in the watering hole Well I found one on e-bay for $5+$30 shipping so I tried to and did make my own out of 1"wide by 1/8"thick flat steel. It was fun making the different angles that it has to have but it works well. Figured with the thicker metal and no slots just 2 holes for plate should last almost forever!

Now I can see why it was so hard to find, the post will not be made for another year yet. Hey, What search tool are you using that can tell what will be posted next year anyhow..........

sleepy2 Posted July 14, 2015 Share #13 Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Yes it was my post and it was this year so he probably had type o. First tried to fix old bracket but too flimsy. Like I said I found one on e-bay but too pricey. Also dealer might take too long. So I tried and after an hour or so I finally bent one out of the flat steel as quoted. As I said after starting to bend it they weird bends in the original were hard to duplicate exactly but it is very close but with a couple stress cracks that look OK and don't look like they will be a problem.If they are they can be welded with no problem.If wanted I could try and post some pics. If you are going to International I could show you in person. Forgot to mention that it isn't as good looking as original but where it is and mounted it is perfectly fine and solid and everything fits where it is supposed to be. If not it can have a brace mounted to be firmer not like original. Edited July 14, 2015 by sleepy2 forgot part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
