And the verdict is... Aftermarket.
They look pretty nice actually. But they have burr edges in many areas. They are missing the welded in washers at the frame mounts. The metal feels just a touch thinner and it weighs 1.5 oz less than the original. The metal doesn't quite line up right on one of the top license plate holes. Slight difference in the shape of the little notch that's cut on the side of the part. Last thing, the chrome is different. Too smooth and shiny. The grommets are prolly standard electrical grommets, and the metal spacers are aluminum.
Bummer.
But again, they're not too bad. If they would get rid of all the sharp edges they'd have somethin.
I'll be lookin to unload them, (I have 2) if anyone's interested.
Original part is on the left in my pics.

The good news is you can probably unload them for $50 each on ebay and still come out ahead.

78 rear light bracket
Got this black one for my 78' project bike for 19bucks. I'm pretty sure the sides are bent but would like to see a new one that isn't bent to see how I may bend this one to If any one has a good shape 78.

not sure if it has a curve or is supposed to be straight

1978 k7?
Just wanted to share something that I thought was interesting. I got a 78 CT70 manual in the mail today. On the back in small print it has K7, which works if you think about it. We consider the K4 to be the last K model designation, before they started using the year to distinguish between models.
