I'd like to run this along with my turn LED bullet signals.
I saw those and think they are hot!

I wanted more light back there for 4 wheelers to see me better. If I didn’t have the stealth lights/relocated licence plate I probably would have gone with those. Since I do have the kit that is installed on mine, I ended up with adding the lit licence plate frame as my best option for me.

Since they do run/brake/turn I probably would go with just those and eliminate the bullets but the more light the better. If you get them please post pictures once installed (along with everything else you have to get out of boxes and on your bike. )

They look great and so much cheaper than the Chopz tail tidy I went with some time ago. I would be all over that if I didn’t already have the plate/rear sorted.

I was at the college installing a part with my Gf, and a college girl came up and asked if she could take pics of my bike. She had what looked like a classic film roll camera.
She said it was for a college class. I was going to let her take pics anyways class related or not, but I asked her to not get a pic with me in it.
She took a few and thanked me and said the bike looked really awesome.
Was a pretty cool thing to have happen.

This bike is such an eye catcher. I've gotten so many "Nice bike!" comments already.
I really need to get out to a spot on a Sunny day and get a good set of photos of the bike.

Ok, not much but I like it....it's a fender emblem for a Road King. I think it breaks it up a bit.

@iHodor I posted a thread for my bike finally.
Rain cleared up and was able to get some pics while it was shining out. Wasn't sure where I could get pics in high sunlight but the nice spot I found did great for some pics.

Nice look. Is that air shock lowered?
How are you liking the 260 rear handling?

Also can I ask you a favor? Would you mind pulling out a tape measure and measuring how far those rear axle caps stick out? from the edge of the lip that they sit in.
Those are the Heartland Biker ones right?

thank you. Arnott air shock. If you want to know if they work with stock exhaust, they don’t but I can measure them this weekend. Yes they are Heartland axle covers. Love the Cruisetec 260 handles better than stock Michelin
