New taillight mount
26 Oct 2021 23:29
I saw @tessarossa had adapted a Yamaha R6 twilight onto his kz1000 and I really liked the look of it. Does anyone know how he mounted that? I want it to be clean and want to do it for my kz750. Thank you!

I have a Kawasaki ZX6E tail light om my KZ650.
Have had it mounted a few different ways over the years.
You have to make up a bracket or two to bolt on the different light.
Try to make some templates out of paper or carboard first, then transfer over to metal.
My tail light bracket broke on one side.
So I made up another mount.
The one piece on the left replaced the three pieces on the right.
Some adjustments, and bending needed.
In the end it came out okay.
