Default where to find short taillight mounts.

i was on youtube looking at different videos trying to find inspiration to go work on my bike and i ran across this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOTWGdIyg6M

he says at the beginning the mounts are black nickel mounts on his taillights. i can't seem to find anyone online that sells those types of mounts. does anyone have an idea where i could find them?

I don't think these rear blinker mounts actually exist. I had a customer 2 years ago where I cut his mounts (standoffs) in half like this to bring them closer to the fender. I think he made these.

Another alternative (which is cheaper and easier) is to buy new bolts and eliminate the standoffs completely so the blinkers totally HUG the frame rail

You would need to powdercoat them though
