I recently have been deciding the path I will be taking with the turn signals on my new T-100 and have begun tearing the bike down a bit to wire some new lights...so have been doing some asking around. Because so many have complained about the Lucas style tail light not being exactly plug and play...I put the question to Mike at Bellacorse who is a knowledgable supplier to the aftermarket as you guys know who sells that light as well as others. I first asked if there were different designs of the square Lucas light out there because they all look basically the same...the square-ish one that goes for 35 bux or so...and he responded honestly no....they are all essentially the same light made from the same tooling. I asked him why they don't exactly match the rear fender and one of the things he said is something I wanted to share with the tech forum to glean input on. He said the Lucas style rear light base gasket doesn't completely cover the two rearward fender holes. I knew about the grinding thing but wasn't aware the light doesn't completely cover the rear fender holes. I was planning on running this light without turnsignals attached to it and now wonder if this is a good strategy because a portion of those fender holes maybe exposed and more obvious without adjacent turn signals.
Can others share their experience in this regard as the Lucas light is a popular upgrade on these bikes.
Thanks,
George
