Smaller tail light fitting the original rear fender?

(1/3) > >>

Hey all

Does anyone know of a smaller tail light, that will fit the existing mounting point on the original fender (three or four holed) and has an OEM look?

I am replacing my old worn rear fender, and wanted to replace the tail light as well. I want an OEM look, but always found the whole rear end of a CB-XXX bike weirdly over dimensioned.

I am riding a CB550 F2 from 1977.

Thanks for any tips you can give me!

What light does that have at the moment?

alexdecker:
Its the original tail light, but the rear fender has rusted so bad and has holes in it because if it, and the tail light doesn't look good either, so wanted to get a new rear fender and then fit a smaller tail light on there if possible…

Bryanj:
I dont know which was the original on that, Honda used two different types
1 the original 500/750 type with cover held on with 2 screws
2 large type GL 100/ 750F2 type with cover held on by 4 screws

Which do you have, or post a pic

Oddjob:
550F2 will be the 2 screw type, same as the 500 Bryan. It was the 550K3 which went to the 4 screw, massive tail light.
