Default Looking to add led brake lights to rear of hard bags

Ive seen a few of you guys with extra led brake light set ups on your baggers. Ive been searching them out aftermarket and see quite a few options. Which ones do y'all run and recommend?

My setup from my old bike:
Radiantz Amp'd LED strips on the bags and tour pak spoiler. Cycle visions eliminator tail/license plate holder. Custom dynamics tri-bar. I run the turns on the bags off of a Hopkins self powered anti-short trailer wiring adapter. I get a lot of compliments on how bright everything is.


Close up of the led strips.
In bright sunlight
In the garage.

I am running the Custom Dynamics The 3 links below... Not cheap but MUCH brighter and better quality then the HD similar parts

https://www.customdynamics.com/fillerz-chrome

https://www.customdynamics.com/bagz-saddlebag-leds-bcm

https://www.customdynamics.com/magic...vidson-touring

I believe in being seen and the Magic strobe allows me to pick a flash pattern when I am braking which really gets folks attention. Since putting them all on I see a huge difference in the cagers tail gate me. I can hit the brakes for a second and catch their attention when they start crowding me.

Good luck!

I run the HD bags lights for the Rushmores. CD makes great stuff and carry about any motorcycle light you'd need if the HD aren't an option. I'm a firm believer in extra rear lighting. I have the stock tour pak lights, bag lights, and a BAL brake light.

Take a look at
www.radiantz.com
They have just about anything you need. The Puckz mount to your bags. If you have a streetglide type light bar check out their cyclops. I have their front and rear signal inserts. One fubared after 5 years and they sent me a new one.

Tell us what year your Bike is, if it's 2014 or newer I'd get the HD Electra Glo
Saddlebag-Run-Brake-Turn Lamps. If your Bike is 2013 or older, Custom Dynamics
is the way to go.

Thanks for the varied suggestions so far.

I should have stated for fit purposes that I have a 2011 RK. Nothing in the rear is modified yet.
