Does this taillight setup look familiar to anyone? It's on a bike I'm considering and can't find anything similar. Thanks

A bit hard to say exactly , but does look a little like an early 70's Suzuki enduro taillight .
Be nice to see a clear shot from behind .

Thank you for the response. Sounding like a new light assembly and possibly a new fender

I have just checked on some 70/71 Suzi brochures , and I'm fairly sure I'm right with the provenance .
Original 69 brackets are hard to find , taillights a bit easier , both expensive .
Looking at your moniker , you're better placed to pick up used components than some of us .
Good Luck .

Your fender is probably fine, good luck finding a replacement, you might have to patch some holes, but I would just work on the taillight. As already mentioned, it will not be easy to find.

Yes, I agree on the bracket. Looks Suzuki. Not 100% sure on the light itself as far as year... My 73 400 has the "tombstone" light. 74 400 is square. I think earlier ones had that short wide oval one... Not familiar enough with the Suzuki to know which year/model had the more round light.
