That looks a lot like the light I installed on my TW. Yours looks great!

Yep, very similar to mine, except that I don't have the smoked cover. The screws that held it together were far too thin for my liking, so I carefully drilled the pastic out and used stainless socket head cap screws that are 4 or 5mm in diameter, along with nyloc nuts.

You did a nice job, Ron. What is the white material you used to fill the space vacated by the old tail light?

I like the floor allot . Was a huge pain in floor prep , the floor was painted and epoxy should be down directly on the concrete . Had to grind the paint off with a diamond cup on a hand grinder . I did have some hot tire lift ,in a spot that was troweled to slick when it was poured . If i ever re-coat it , i will leave out the traction grit . The grit makes it harder to sweep out things like grass clippings

Good to know. The floor in my new house is brand new and shouldn't require much prep. I used a 2 part epoxy in one of my California homes and liked it. The only downsides were air bubbles in places from the concrete outgassing (?) and motorcycle kickstands would quicky scrape through it.
I want a nice garage. It will be fully insulated, heated, sheetrocked, pained white, and I plan to light it up like an operating room. A nice light grey floor will be a nice touch.
