A question regarding swapping a US spec rear light...
« on: September 05, 2026, 11:50:44 AM »
for a smaller UK spec, is it possible to keep the original US spec rear bracket or are the bolt holes for the rear light too far apart?

thanks.

The holes are different spacing, it can fit without the rubber mountings but that vibrates bulbs

Perhaps you could make an adapter plate or bracket.
