So ever since I got my MTD Trail Flite I have been toying with the idea of putting lights on it. The headlight brackets had been bent back flat and looked kinda crappy. Wasn’t even sure if the bracket for the taillight would even work. Bike had no lights when I got it.
Was looking around blackwidowmotorsports and noticed that they sell Rupp headlight and taillight.
So I bit the bullet and purchased both.
Received them both, and after hooking them up to a battery to make sure they work, I set about to fit them to the bike.
Bending the headlight brackets back straight was tricky but was able to do it and fit the light. Totally changes the look of the bike. This light has no switch at the top so I will likely install one at some point.
Taillight bracket was there but 2 old rusty bolts with square nuts holding it on. Removed one, the other snapped.
Installed the taillight and it looks pretty good. Also has the clear bottom for license plate light.
Lights are not wired up yet since I don’t have a lighting coil or the right flywheel but I am looking for those now.
No pics yet since I have to leave the house for the rest of the day but I will post them up later.
So if anyone is wondering, the Rupp head and tail will physically fit an MTD Trail Flite without too much trouble. At first I thought the Rupp headlight looked too big for the bike, but now looking at pics of other Trail Flites it seems fine.
