Well good luck with that!
They are just like the short tale light bracket ,nla
so you have better chance with making one ,or a couple yourself!

Is that for the twin setup?
Can't see it on phone.

I just made a couple standard tail light brackets out of 3mm alloy plate and they turned out nicely ,only have to make some small adjustments to work with a stock tail light!
(Thanks much for borrowing your bracket Topgumm!)

Made a carton template from a stock tail light bracket and copied it from there.
For the twin tail bracket you have to make the end piece a bit stronger without the work of pressing in the curves at the end piece.

Colin ,thank you for sending it that easy to me!

Yes to duplicate the twintail bracket exactly would not be that easy ,but with some small changes it is not impossible! ;)

I made sure when I bought my "Twintail" that everything was there, seat/tail unit/bracket and even the screw that holds the seat on!

Love it when S1 owners try to make their bikes look more like a 97 M2 :)
