I would keep that HD Tri-bar tail light, the Cycle Visions looks great but I question its functionality - would a cager really pick up on you turning? I have been thinking a lot about doing some of these signal mods, and I want to look good, but I want to keep my visibility and intentions intact somewhat. The Cycle Visions as a pure tail light(at a cheaper price) and keep the signals, that would be nice too - maybe they're listening?

My turn sigs are BRIGHT. The only thing that is not ideal is the spacing between them. If someone is anywhere behind me they will see it, but it may be hard to see which direction until they are closer. Never had anyone run up my A$$....

Yeah, I could have been clearer about my concerns, the seperation is exactly what I was refering to - believe me I love the looks, just trying to balance looks and functionality when I decide to change my set-up.

I have the Eliminator on my bike, and I am not pleased with the visibility during the day. The Sun washes it right out, including the brake light

Lataest pics, taken yesterday. Shouldn't be too much longer.. still waiting for a headlight bracket, Also switching back to the OEM pegs for the mid mount position because the right 3" Mini-Footboard touches the exhaust when folded up.
