Help! Under seat mount for tail light?
Have a 2021 Specialized Tarmac SL7 Pro
currently using the Trek/Bontrager Flare rear tail light. Love it for its size, lightweight, and run time. Have it mounted to my seat post currently. Looking to find a mount that will stash it up under the seat between the seat rails. I can’t seem to find anything. Anyone have any ideas or solutions? Thx!!!

I see some items on Etsy which may be what you're looking for, but why bother having a light at all if you want it mounted somewhere your derriere would obstruct from the view of others?

This place has all kids of pieces that might help you, quality might be an issue but how bad could it be?

if your under seat bag does not have the attachment or provision to mount a tail light - you can attach / sew a small strap of leather (or whatever) to your bag and then attach your tail light to the strap / bag
I had a shoe repair man sew the leather straps to my under seat bags

Since you have a specialized saddle, get a STIX ELITE 2 tail light and the saddle mount.

That will only work with Bontrager saddles with the mounting options built in to the saddles if I recall correctly.

But, I'm not in a position to take it off and see if it fits a Trek saddle.

Here you go:

I have something similar for the Fly6 rear camera/light and it works great. This is an old pic as I recently sold the Lynskey but the light stays nice and tucked under the saddle.
