I have a 1995 Cali 1100 carb, and some muppet who has had this bike before me obviously had problems with the rear mudguard. So he swapped it for another type but it doesnt have the ledge for mounting the rear lights on.
What he did was jury rig a light bracket on the back, which was all well and good until I got it and wanted to fit panniers (he mounted the lights on the rear fender, they got in the way).
More jury rigging later and I manufactured this work of art...
The more well-travelled will see the skillful application of two Suzuki GSX400FX front cable clips to mount the indicators on and the tasteful blue cable wrap...

To the point, I want to fit an original Guzzi taillight set. I bought the correct type 2nd hand, not realising I needed the ledge for it to go on.
So what I am wondering is...what type of light fits to the below mount type?:
I am suspecting that its not a Guzzi fender, but some piece of junk the previous moron owner slammed on there. If it is, I'll make a new ledge bracket by hook or by crook.

Side note: many thanks to Moto Ecosse for selling me this bike. I appreciated the garbage rear electrics, the sidestand that eventually fell off, the weak sidestand engine cut-off bracket which prevented the bike from running when I got it until I capped the switch, and the cam sensor which failed within 2 months of ownership. Scumbags!
After the issues Ive had with this bike, though, I just love it even more
