Thinking of going with the lights only, like having the tour pak on the bike too much.

I would stop carrying your bags with one hand like that unless you want to drop them. I already replaced the lower portion of one of my bags after dropping it off the mounting rail. 8" to the ground and it did a job on the corner of the bag. I ALWAYS have my thick Craftsman floor mat below them when I take them off now. $270 lesson learned quickly.
That 3M tape is strong as hell but it's met to hold the lights on the bags, not the bags on the lights.

Good point I think I will learn from your lesson as it is cheaper for me.

As much as I agree with you, they won't ever make them for there. I didn't like the look of these lights at first, but after looking at anything that will go in the fender area, I've come to find it is impossible to put lights there and still be road legal. That's why Moco went with the bag lights.
I'm looking at getting the smoked lights. We'll see.

This picture is off of the HD web site, of the CVO roadglide.. They do indeed make something.

Yes, they do have ones like this. I was referring to the holes in the strip, which is too far behind the saddlebags. You are correct though, they do have them.

IMHO, the Motor Company places style over function at times with CVO's. Without question the CVO lights between the bags and fender looks the best; the lights on the bags work the best. Would not be surprised to see a chrome version of the filler strip with cvo lights to come out

Those are out a few inches from the "holes" in the chrome brackets underneath. They are at the same plane as the bags, so you would see them from the sides.

I to have made the mistake of carrying the bags by hanging on to the lights because that is where I used to carry the old fiberglass bags, but I have changed my ways.

The Cvo lights are not mounted in the holes between the bags and fender that are tucked in a ways. The Cvo's are mounted in a flared out rear fender that come out flush with the bags, much more visible and more visibly appealing. You can get that also, it just costs about $950 and I believe that's unpainted.
I bought the qd kit which came with the saddle bag lights, easy install and bright as can be. They are growing on me. I liked the looks of the cd fillerz, but not really visible from the sides and to me the dealbreaker. Until something better comes along, I'll stick with what I have.
Btw, those lights stick real well.
