Default lights

I'm making a new light. This light is for the china engines and it works off the white wire.
here is some pictures and information on this.
This is the skull light or (Tombstone) It has skulls all the way around the lens. $2.00 extra it will be black dyed as in this picture you can paint it with a brush using a inexpensive paint found at walmart called folk art or apple barrel paint less than a $1.00 for a bottle

this is the 1" dia. mount for mounting the light with handle bars that have 1" dia. at the steering neck.

this finish looks like wood they are gone, sold.

this is the taillight use it with or with out the chrome trim.

The headlight comes unpainted (died black) and if you want to you can paint it. You can use fusion paint for plastics, model car paints, or auto paints to make it your favorite color. The mount fits 1" dia handle bars to mount on 7/8" dia handle bars use the 7/8" inserts included .
Headlight is $22.00. Buy the headlight and the taillight for $34.00 and I'll give you the skull lens housing as cast no finish on it. shipping is $5.00 .
I can take cash, money order. I also take PayPal . paypal address is nleonard52@cableone.net
I ship by USPS.

Fairracing does a review on the small light below on the next post (old style housing) new light has the same lighting as the old one just a newer style housing and mount for the new light.
contact me here by PM for more info. or email me. norms-iron-works@hotmail.com

very nice Norm, I like the mounting option in pic #2

at first I was thinking man these are pricey, but then i went to your site and seen just how you made them and decided they were cheap for the amount of detail and work you put into this light..

The switch is the only thing i would improve on. I know from other use's that toggle is a very reliable switch but it takes away from some of the smoothness of the light, maybe a push button type switch at the tail end of the light would look more seamless ?

But any way you cut it and along with Fair's review I think anyone ordering this light would have a very unique set-up that would last longer than the bike itself.

Love your post's Norm they all ways fascinate me on the details

I now have a light.
Old light is on the left new is on the right The mount on the left is not for sale its weak and will break. The new light comes with a mount fits either 7/8"( using the inserts not seen in this picture) or 1" handle bars and switch,not as much work to paint and in my opinion better looking light even unpainted.

here is the taillight.

I have these for sale, skull light. Same light housing its been painted with sandable primer.

another view of the skull lens housing.

Here is a short video I made with my camera on the curb and me riding towards it so you can see how bright Normans Headlight is, keep in mind this is the small light.

Wow, impressive!! That is a very sharp looking light.

I wonder if you will choose a picture below, for me, that defines the rough capabilities of this light.


Thanks in advance!

Hey instead of me doing that let FAIRRACING do that or CRUISER or ILIKEABIKEA or one of the people who have bought one of my lights.

Here are some pics of Norms lights. The two toward the garage are the small light about 40' away.
The two toward the fence are the big light about 40' away. They are a little fuzzy because it was so dark outside. I used a tripod but the wind was blowing pretty good and couldn't get the camera real still................

Ilikeabikea's pictures are as follows in the above post. light is on looking in garage#2 then lights of you can just see the Harley if you look closely. #3 picture is lights off then # 4 picture is lights on 50' to the fence we can't get the camera to really show the lights brightness. It was cold and over cast at night around 9:30PM and the ever blowing Texas wind.
Any way no batteries needed for this light the white wire will work good.
I've been running all my bikes with this light my first bike is now 2 years old and on the same bulbs. You can run it off batteries if you want to I haven't but the headlight and taillight will run off batteries. ( batteries not included) or needed

This is a lens cover that I painted(brush) using folk art paints from Wall Mart it is an acrylic paint about $1.00 for a bottle cleans up is with soap and water. Its supposed to be permanent after the paint dries at least it didn't wash off after it dried. Picture is out of focus as usual

this skull lens happened to have a flaw in it had a bubble in the eye socket so I made it look like an eye.
a little better picture of the skull painted

old bones finish on light

looks kind of like wood
