The Prism Supply Co. Box Chopper Tail Light is a modern LED take on the classic old-school chopper box light — slimmer than the original and built from aluminum so you can polish, chrome, powdercoat, or leave it raw to match your build.

Equipped with a dual-function LED cluster that handles both running and brake light duties, it wires cleanly through the back of the housing for a tidy install.

Specifications

• Housing: 4-1/4" L x 3/4" W x 2-1/8" H (original style: 4-1/4" x 2" x 2")
• Dual-function LED cluster — running & brake light
• Wires exit through rear of housing
• Aluminum housing — polish, chrome, powdercoat, or raw finish options
• Includes two stainless steel 1/4-28 mounting bolts, spaced 3.5" apart

Available Finishes

• Brushed Aluminum
• Polished Aluminum

Compatibility

Designed for custom choppers and bobbers. The slimmer profile compared to the original makes it ideal for tight tail section builds.

The same cloth-braided spark plug wires Prism Supply Co runs on every one of their own builds. Vintage-correct aesthetics with modern reliability — these wires are the finishing touch that separates a polished chopper or bobber from a stock-looking bike.

Each kit includes everything you need for a clean, complete install with no sourcing headaches.

• 2 × 90° black spark plug boots

Motogadget m.unit Cable Kit

The Motogadget m.unit Cable Kit is the purpose-built wiring kit for building a clean, professional harness with the Motogadget mo.unit blue or mo.unit basic. It contains 17 colour-coded, top-grade copper-strand cables in three gauges — matched to the mo.unit’s output functions — along with cable ties and end sleeves. Approximately 1 kg of materials in total.

Each cable colour corresponds to a specific function or output on the mo.unit system. Having the correct gauge and colour from the start eliminates guesswork, reduces wiring errors, and produces a harness that’s easy to trace and service later. The lengths are sufficient for most custom motorcycle builds.

Cable Contents

Also Included

• Cable ties — small (x15) and large (x15)
• Cable end sleeves — small (x10), medium (x10), and large (x10)
• Installation manual
