Can anyone recommend an AFTERMARKET tail light? *PICS* was created by 650Dude

I want to elimate the fender but keep the stock signal lights. I need to figure out how to mount a light to the rear seat fairing. My bike is green. I want a setup similar to the burgundy bike, but I dont like that taillight:

Buy whatever tail light you like
. Then get a piece of aluminum plate and bend it into a bracket
That is what most folk do that want to change the light and / or eliminate the fender .
If you look close at my bike you will see I made a bracket as I describe so that
I could move my fender back

Interesting bike. A lot going on. I kinda keep my bikes simple to avoid clutter. Im not a bells and whistles guy - thats not quite to my tastes but glad you like it!

.

In re the tailight, Im going to use the original one and recess it as it was done in the video. I dont want a rear fender AT ALL, which is kinda the point of the post. I found that video AFTER I made the post so I think Im going to follow the instructions in the video, but i do appreciate your response.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationA number of Kawasaki models had a tail light tucked under the ducktail.
ZN700/1100. ZR550/750/1100 Zephyrs. ZRX1100/1200. probably others.

The ZN700's is kind of a snazzy. The early Vulcan 88 had the same one.
posted this one because the seller has it lit.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThanks for this. Not sure how this would mount on my KZ650 though....

You would mount it the same as the stock one you plan on using. It has a couple of mounting studs that unbolt from the big bracket.
I know you expect to stick with the stock tail light, but here's one from a Zephyr 1100. It mounts the same as the ZN700 above.
Linking this one because it's NOS & what the heck.

Here's a Zephyr 750 w tail light similar to the ZR1100.
