Can't decide what to do for taillights was created by bhepp15
I decided that this week was the week to buy all of the things I need to get my DT3 finished up and ready to go for next summer. So I am buying a whole new seat assembly, a battery, headlight assembly, and tail lights. I have everything picked out except for the taillights. I can't decide if I'm going to go with turn signals or not and I cannot really find anything online that isn't LED that I like the look of. I'm just wondering if anyone knows a good place to look or just has any ideas of a good taillight brake light assembly that look nice?

Are you keeping the stock steel rear fender? I have done this to a couple of bikes I have had. (Still have this one available.) TY250/IT175 taillight takes a 2 filament bulb, so tail and brake light.
Another style that was 'in vogue' back in that era was a folded over rubber mudflap kind of affair, with a smallish Lucas light assembly attached. The rubber was to isolate things. Might have to fabricate that yourself, but should not be too tough to do.

YES!! That is what I am thinking about. You got one of those rubber flaps, and bolted on one of these Lucas-style lights.

Gives you a vibration isolated mount and a decent size light with both filaments. Probably mount up to the existing holes in the steel fender too.

I am planning on using my original fender. Those lucas lights look good and I'll probably order one of those today, I think I've decided to go without blinkers as well.
