It's a taillight for a '95 Cal 1100. Part #GU30740960. Advertised price was $36. Price upgrade was a $44 increase for a total of $80. If anyone here has one new or used that they would sell me for less I would buy it and cancel this order.

Hopefully you know about the metal socket fix, if it is the sockets melted.

The black plastic base broke off a piece where the left turn signal attached. The bike was an insurance total when I bought it in 2001. It had been hit in the back. All it really needed was a new back fender and a couple of trim pieces that were missing. The taillight base was cracked a little then. I got 17 years out of it before it really broke.
Thanks all for all the responses to my thread. I thought at first that I was being hosed. Now I know that I wasn't. Paid the additional charge to order the part.

Is this the dual lens assembly like a Jackal had?

If so those turn signal mounts were prone to cracking and it might be worth reinforcing them before installation.
