TWIN LIGHT TANK (mystery) any solvers out there ??

[Classic Cool Rides]

Hello CABErs! I have acquired a unique TANK that uses TWIN Delta lights ......... I just felt that I needed it and could build a bike around it

The Mystery is ......... I can't seem to find another one like it here on the CABE to find out what I have

Can anybody tel me what I have here ?? Any pictures available on a complete bike ??

Thank you in advance for any "Light" you can share (even TWIN Light) on this subject!

Cheers! CCR Dave

Looks like maybe a Ross that was adapted to use Delta tail lights? V/r Shawn

Thanks for the reply Gordon.......but yourS came that way correct ?? I don't think this was a custom-made set-up or an adaption....
Do you have an old picture of your Hawthorne that you could post ?? ThANKS! , CCR Dave

Thanks for the reply Shawn! But, I don't think this is an adaption set-up..... while the internal bracket looks that way ....the twin ovalized holes are cut cleanly.

And when you look at the Delta light's "AIM" they look to be spot-on. I was thinking Ross too (or Shelby) as far as Tank Shape.

The Graphics appear to be a "Stingray" image .... Hmmmmm.... Cheers! CCR Dave

I don't think it's home made either.
