Looks like a Model A tail light repro. Very pretty too ! My first car
had 1 of those. Had to explain to the cops more than once that it came
from the factory that way and it only needed ONE !
Nice touch ,Karl !

unit for a old ford. They come with a glass lens and are polished
stainless steel. They fit right on the stock guzzi tail light bracket.
All
you have to do is drill out the mounting holes 1 size larger. Since the

lens is glass you can run the high watt "bright" bulb and not worry
about
melting the lens. I got the cool glass lens that has STOP made in to
it.
To bad I could not get one made that said ALTO. Anyway here is a photo
of
one on my wife's bike. Not a good shot of the tail light but you get
the
idea. They run about 20 bucks. I have also seen them in J.C. Whitney.
Just make sure you get the side that has the clear lens in the bottom
for
the license plate.

And you can pop a "Blue Dot" in the center with a clean conscience !

to
keep it safe, and bought a round trailer light lens to fit right on.
Looks
the same to me, and took about 60 seconds.
