replace the tail light on a 1980 honda cb 650

I bought a 1980 Honda CB650c off craigslist for 400 USD and needles to say it needed some work.  After cleaning the carbs, replacing the spark plugs and the air filter and adding saddle bags i need a new tail light.  with the saddle bags on i needed to get rid of the built in turn signals and my tail light was cracked.

Step 1: Gather the parts

In the search for a new tail light i ended up at rays recking yard in my town.  i found an old kawasaki with a tail light that would fit my bike.  then i had to grab my tools.

ratchet with metric sockets
screw driver
wire stripper/crimper
wrench set
wire probe (i didn't use on but they are nice)
crimp on wire ends
