The Old “The Dog Ate My Bike” Story
Hey Thunder Bob…
I have a 2004 VN1600 Classic (White Fleck). Several months ago my Rottweiler used the stock tail lights as a chew toy. (plastic) They are still functional, but not looking like they should.
My question is this. Since the tail lights are in this shape and need replacing , is there something you can suggest as replacements before I Order stock lights? I have been adding to my bike and would like something special. I have been all over the internet looking, but just cant find anything that will fit. HELP….
I have used Metric Thunder in the past for new Pipes, grips, and a Cobra Tripot. OH, just ordered the Kuryakyn skull mirrors from you too. Great Service!
Thanx for any help you may render…. -Dale Zimmerman
Hey Dale,
First of all, thanks for your continuing business and confidence in us! BTW, if the Rotweiler does that to your tail lights, I can’t imagine what he does to humans!!!You have several options that are, in my opinion, an improvement from stock, (maybe your dog has a point!). What type of bike are you going for? Two-up cruiser, one-up power cruiser, bagger, etc…In general terms, you have a couple of start points:
Combine turn signals/brake lights and license plate into a single unit. Keep the turn signals separate and use as run/turn/brake lights. (Mount on struts or other location). Replace the turn signals with bullet lights, either LED or halogen. Simply replace your turn signals with stock.
