Custom Fabed Deep Seated Buco L.E.D. Lights

[Spokes]

I finally figured out how to recess the bulb socket into a chrome body. This allows a L.E.D. light to be installed in Buco Twinmaster Saddlebags.

hey spokes, nice job!!! i'm getting ready to install lights in my buco bags...can I jump the wiring right off the brake light? also do you have a parts list for this project? awesome summer!!!

[Spokes]

Thanks, yes, you can jumper your brake light or running lights to the bag lights. Remember that you have to ground the lights in the bags. This is normally done by running a ground wire from the light to the bottom plate that reinforces the bottom clamp.

I don't have a parts list per se, because I use die's for the bulb socket hole in the body and a press to countersink the socket. I also use fixtures for making the bracket that holds the light in the bag as well as a drill press.

So these lights are pretty custom. I only build a few sets per year when I can find chrome light bodies.

Spokes do you have any lights with visors for sale at this time? Need four of course.

thanks,

S.

No. I am sourcing light bodies as we speak. I may have found good metal bodies in black, so they would need to be chromed. The chrome bodies are found now and again. Sorry.

Just finished a set of L.E.D Visored lights. http://www.ebay.com/itm/200734045613?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

The next set of 4 lights will be done this week.

Hey Chipster how have you been?

I bought some chrome visors for my buco's but they wouldn't stay in, I even filed the tabs off the lenses but to no avail? What's the trick to getting them on?

Tks,Lou

Hey Lou
Living in Georgia...super nice.

I place the lense in 1st. Then put the visor in and retain the lense & visor with the clip.
