New ,improved versions of the Wixom bag lights are readily available at
Truck supply stores and some auto parts. They look the same on the
outside and have MUCH better sockets .Direct bolt for bolt (rivet)
replacement ! The usual going price is less than 5 bucks .

and a
connector so the bags can be removed for cleaning and service. Make sure
that the female end of the connector is toward the bike so there is no
chance of a short when the bags are off.

Subject: Lights for Wixom bags


 Loopsters: From what I can tell, the lights on the Wixom saddlebags are
just running lights (i.e., not brake lights). Is that right?

There are no wires for these lights I can find: they were not connected
when I got the bike. (They were in pretty sad shape).

Repairing these bags should allow me to achieve the much sought after
Dreaded Previous Owner eXtraordinaire (DPOX) status. I'm working up a
"custom" latching system. Painting should start late this week.

Is that the single malt talking or just another cheap WHINE ?
