I'm thinking of the Super Valk conversion. I'm wondering if anyone could point me towards an acceptable taillight? The standard taillights are hard to come by. Has anyone tried other Honda taillights, like off an Shadow Ace or Sabre? Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you. John

New parts are available and not that expensive.  While the LENS from a couple other Hondas are the same, the mount hardware is not a perfect match, and requires some hand fitting if used in the interstate fender cutout.   Info is a few years old and parts prices may have increased a bit.

I bought all of the parts I needed new from Honda Direct Line OEM parts section: http://www.hondaonlineparts.com/  I'm too impatient to try short cuts or wait for a deal to come along.

33701-MZ0-671  tail light assembly  $110.65
80122-MZ0-000  rubber  $5.67
32102-MZ0-000  wiring sub-assembly  $5.52
32103-MZ0-000  wiring sub-assembly  $8.86

I used the wiring harness sub-assemblies from a Standard and they tied right in to the Interstate system (except for one wire) without cutting anything.  For the one wire, I just connected it and taped it to the standing part of the I/S wiring harness because I did not want to alter the original I/S harness.  I could have made a better connection if I didn't mind cutting the original harness.
