UK Cafe Racer Build Thread

No worries mate, not sure if any of those will work for you?
Maybe try a search for Cafe rear light? Or check out more modern bikes to see if any have what you are looking for?

 

[Airwolfie]

I like all of them Hehe! I think the oval one might go better with the fairing though.

You must have been posting as I was

Found three that may work on the previous post

 

[Airwolfie]

OOOOH I quite like this idea!!!!

 

[Paulrxs650]

Yeah, I am going to measure up tonight when I get in and see how it'll tie up with the number plate bracket I'll need to make

 

[Airwolfie]

A round one would work too?

 

[Airwolfie]

Something UNDER the hump?

 

[Paulrxs650]

I did look at that and you can achieve the brighter brake light effect with a resistor in the circuit.
I'm not sure if it'll look a bit "amateurish" though???

 

[Airwolfie]

Loads of examples here bud, just keep looking until you find what you like or want..

I like the one on the red and white checked bike!
Does it say where that light comes from?

I'm not sure what you mean by that?

 

[Airwolfie]

[Airwolfie]

OR what about one of these poking out the rear like it's coming out?

 

[Paulrxs650]

Thanks for those Airwolfie, plenty ideas to be going at. i think I like the round idea at the minute and those pointing ones are quite interesting. A bit more searching and i'm sure i'll find it it
