Got my parts back from the chrome plater and am generally pleased. Got the rear rim laced to the hub and the backing plate re-assembled. Also got some things put on the frame. Right now I've got some Red Wing shocks on the bike. The old original shocks don't want to give up their plungers.

Got to look at my tail light innards. The photos show the short lens with the angled bulb that allows clearance. I wondered what color the tail light bracket should be so I got to looking at period advertisements since I have seen both black and silver brackets. It appears that black bikes have a black bracket, red and blue bikes have silver brackets, and white has a white bracket. I have had 5 black bikes, 3 red bikes and 1 blue bike and this was the case for each of them. As a disclaimer I am not saying this is gospel, only this is what I have observed. The bracket on my bike is original paint black and has the STANLEY D-2R stamp in white, so I'm going with a black bracket on my black bike.
