Thanks Shawn, good news for me as I have a few! I saw a photo of one Zep with a tail light that didn’t have the sidelights!

Interesting, note the screws for the Tanks horn

One with the horn button installed by itself or I’ve seen one other style, horn, batt tray and button, one component installed in these tanks! Anyone know the why the difference?
