Anybody got any suggestions for a tail light on my side car?
I originally wanted to match the Vulcan 900's light but I think it'll be too big of a pain because it's recessed in the rear fender. On my side car it'll go on the outside fender that's about 6" wide. The fender is thin fiberglass and doesn't have lot of clearance from the wheel. So I think I need a surface mount light (I do have enough room to run the wiring through the fender).
I looked at Tractor Supply and they have some possibilities. But I want it to look as good as possible. I'd also prefer L.E.D's and I'll probably rig it to function as a turn signal and brake light (and disconnect my right rear bike turn signal).

An earlier Velorex tailight as pictured on: http://velorexusa.com/Instruction_pdf/mudguard_ins.pdf
might work for you. It's a surface mount and looks like the mounts would adapt to the curvature of most fenders.
