Question:
Hi...I have a Joe Hauler motorcycle carrier. Ive looked through all your lighting kit pages without much success. Can you please recommend a brake/taillight kit that would mount onto the back of the carrier without drilling into the square tubing? Thanks

Expert Reply:
A magnetic mounted taillight kit like # TL21RK from Optronics would be ideal for a hitch mounted cycle carrier.
Another option would be to use a cargo carrier lamp kit like # 98174LED. You'd also need two brackets like # BK70BB and some zip ties to fasten the brackets to the carrier. The brackets are meant to be bolted in place, but if you used two zip ties per bracket, it'd be plenty strong enough.
Everything else we offer would require drilling into the carrier.
