WTB a light unit/battery tray for the Western Flyer rack on bike shown... does anyone have one? I will buy the whole rack if need be as long as the battery tray/light unit is attached... would prefer just the unit though. I have good trade stock and of course dead presidents to spend. Anyone??

Thanks!

This should be the tray. This one is what is on my Luxury Liner.
The light assy is the rear rack with fitted lenses.

This is for reference only as mine is not for sale.

The underside

It's all about the Tanklights!!

How did I run out of room so fast?

Not completely correct....

jd56.... thanks for posting that photo. That unit is close but I believe the correct light tray has two addl. bulbs, one on each side right and left for the turn signals, as well as a running light (or maybe a stop light) in the middle as yours has.

The luxury liner only has the tailight bulb. But, this tray appears to be a universal setup. As there is sockets for both left and right bulbs.
The underside (look closely through the silver added paint) shows a stamped R and L for the side bulbs. And is obviously missing the wiring on this example.

It's all about the Tanklights!!

Here is a picture of the wiring from the underside that someone posted awhile back.

I had some of these units/trays NOS a while back, a couple different types. The ones with turn signals had a 6v flasher (relay?) that looked like a big fuse. Never powered one up to check it out...shoulda.

Thanks for posting the pix guys! That's just what I'm looking for. Got a unit from another caber, but it doesn't have the proper mounts, the tower in back and tab in front...

Rustjunkie, you don't have any of these for me??

Anyone?

Thanks

After a closer look at my Luxury Liner ' rear tray is only a tailight model. No turn signal sockets.
