    Are any of you aware of a third brake light that has a contoured mounting surface that would fit tightly on the curved surface of a roll bar tube? Prefer LED's. After a number of Google searchs have not found anything. I was told Factory Five might have akit but have not found anything. Thanks!

    Wouldn't it be easier ti just weld a tab under/over the bar, screw the light on there?

    The PO of my Miata mounted a narrow LED unit to the horizontal tube. At about 3/4" wide by 3" long, it's narrow enough that it fits well enough against the curved tube. Dunno the brand but I can try to get a pic if I remember to.

    Seems like it would light the interior of the car really bad at night, especially with the top up.

    I used 2 of the small amber ones as discrete turn signals on my KTM 690 supermoto. Nice stuff.

    I don't have a picture of it on the bike, but these are available in red and orange. I put two orange ones on the Goldwing for turn signals. I bent up a piece of stainless so I had something to bolt it to and to keep light from going anywhere but behind me.

    1/2" X 4". ~$16 each.
