Default added my own tourpak/ saddle bag lights

used the same strip led lights as my red accent lights but white of course, lights up the whole tourpak and the saddle bags. put the switch in the tour pak liner at the back on the hinge side with the strip wire out of the way but easy to get at. going to be adding some small connectors on the saddle bag lights so they can be removed for cleaning and such as well as a small hole by the shock area for the wire to exit as right now the wire for them just get sandwhiched in the lid...

Very Nice... What kind of lights are those, where did you get them and what's the cost?

Thanks,

Pretty slick. Well done. I just put a self adhesive LED on the inside of my TP lid. I like your idea much better.

here's a pic of the red ones
you can get 2-pak 4 inch strips, $15 but if you can solder and such get the 2-pak 12 inch ones for $ 20.

i was unsure of how they would turn out on the accent lights so ive got 4 12 inch strips and 4 4inch strips, then got another pak of the 12's and cut one more 4 inch strip

Moved up here 9 years ago and just now found out we have an Auto Zone just up the road. Hidden behind the Walgreens all this time.

Phsyco/Guys

I used those same FLEX LEDs (real name in Advanced Auto) in red and put a 12" strip right under the tour pack lip and tied it into my brakes AND two smaller strips right under the lip on my saddle bags and tied those into my blinkers!
EVERYONE I run into always ask about em' Very bright and inexpensive safety mod!
Check this out! I also took a 3 light strip and mounted them right on the apex of the fairing and also tied thos into the blinkers! Looks so awesome and they can even be seen from behind too!

Psycho,
Is it possible to get a picture of how you tied all those accent lights together some how and how many lights and what locations yu used?
Been wanting to do that for so long now!

Edit:
See this post guys!
