What happened to the J&P/Lucas taillight thread?

[ChipBeck_imp]

There was a cool thread with some great photos of a CB with a J&P Lucas style tail light. I don't remember who posted it. Was it removed? I was wanting to check it out again. (?)

I mounted this light at the end of april when I got my cb1100 but I did not like the up angle that the lens pointed when covering up the harness hole in the fender so I went back to the stock light. I have plans to mount the lucas light assembly correctly with the lens angled straight back horizontaly and cover the fender hole when I paint my ride this winter. right now , if you would like I can remount the light and shoot a couple of photo's but the lens angle will be pointing upward.. looks chopper/bobberish, no thanks.

Paul,

While it's true that the Lucas light is slightly angled upward, the stock taillight is angled upwards the same amount. Look at the photos below. I really like the shape of the stock tail light but Honda made it ENORMOUS. The thing is huge and sticks out farther back than the fender itself. The turn signals are too big too IMO and I have new replacement units to replace them as well. I tried two different Lucas lights and settled on this one. I will post a "How To" as soon as I have time. Cheers.
