Default Tail light and rear end thread

Looking for other people's ideas on the rear ends of their dynas.
How did you clean up the rear?!

Mine looks like this right now...


But I ordered a lower-profile smoked LED tail light with integrated turn signals in it. Can't run blinkers like that with the FXDXT bags I plan to add.
Little afraid the turns wont be too visible during the day, so I think I might add some sort of LEDs (turn or brake) to the license plate frame. I want a lay down plate, just not sure which one.

Figured there'd be some good ideas and some clean rear ends so show em off!

Here's mine. That's a billet mount for a touring model.

Clear angled tail light lens with LED tail light bulb, chrome lay-down license plate bracket, smoked turn signal lenses.

I ditched the bobtail and tail light. Went with running/signal/brake module for the rear and got an LED lay back license plate.

on my rear fender i took 2 stock rear fenders and cut them up to make one stretched fender

then i added LED's to my swing arm that i made resisters for to work as running/brake lights, a cheap micro LED turn signals make up my blinkers, i then added an LED to the board in my tail light as well



stretch completed


vs stock




brake lights on with swing arm lights






here is a vid i made a while back for the lights on my bike

Thanks guys!!
I found a cool curved plate frame with brake lights and blinkers in it! (scroll the the bottom plate of this page-black one)
http://www.customdynamics.com/illumi...0Plate%20Frame
I think this will work nicely with the integrated tail light, need it laid down so it follows the fender tho - cant stand it standing straight up.

Anyone ever buy anything from there?
