I have a 2003 night train and I dont like the rear tail light. I do like the cat eye type that will fit other years but has the newer bikes changed license plate brackets? has anyone changed their rear tail lights? if so please post photos...

I put the wide cateye taillight on my 99 Night Train and it looked AWESOME. I think they widened the rear fender in 2000 so make sure you get the bracket that fits your year.

The LED ones are VERY bright I wish add a extra 100 to buy one I would in a hot minute

I'm about to take the Pro-1 fatbob taillight/license frame bracket and "modify" it to fit my '03 Night Train... fender width is the same, mounting holes are different.

I also have a few cool LED mods up my sleeve if anyone is interested.

Yes I am definitely interested.
What type LED's do you use? Current draw, view angle,brightness (mcd rating)?
What do you use for voltage drop devices? Resister or voltage regulator IC?
Any simple schematics would be helpful.
Thanks

i too would like to hear about those LED mods. that big red tail light just isn't black enough.
