I want to mount a back-up light on my 98 D1, but I am not sure how or where. I don't have a roof rack so I was wondering if some one make a bracket of some sort to mount a back up light.

Another option would be to take off the back wheel and make a thin mount that sticks up next to the tire, then it wouldn't get broken off on trees and bushes if that's what you do sometimes.

I have mine mounted over the rear door handle. Atop the black plastic thing. It is protected by the ladder and works great

Jerry Crawford has a CB antenna mount that can be used to mount the light. It would put it up much higher than on the door handle. His address is: http://www.out-backeam.com/

Thanks,
