custom tail light

[trident sam]

Has anyone got a source for the tail light that fits over the frame rail , sort of Lucas shaped, mostly seen on American Commandos ?

The best ones were sold by cNw (see pic) but he doesn’t list them anymore. Maybe email him?

There’s lots of cheap Chinese versions on eBay that you could make fit and look half decent with a day or twos work !

Yes, that's the type. I haven't seen any with the cut outs though. I like the early tail ligfht fairings but it's your type I'm looking for

Email Matt and see if he’s got any in process Sam.

Failing that, an eBay version and a couple of days of sawing, filing and cursing …

Fred At OldBritts was the one that first made these available and I think Matt bought all his stock. He might be in the process of finding someone to make the castings.They were well made.

Matt has already made some. They were made in USA in small batches so were certainly not cheap!

Sam, there was a guy on one of the facebook groups who was selling some he'd had cast in aluminium for the 469 (Beehive) and the later big square jobby. Trouble is I can't remember which Commando group it was.

Or this one. ( which will need modifying to fit)... https://www.classicbikepartscheshir...le-with-mounting-bracket-polished-alloy-p7187

If a beehive is acceptable then a 60s Triumph job could probably be adapted ?

Hi Cliff, yes I remember seeing them myself and can't remember where as well !

Yes I've thought of them, the BSA version has a larger cut out so less cuttin/grinding to fit

I also used a P11 taillight on a Commando, looked pretty good.

The guys name is Daryl Rosser on the Norton Commando FB group.
