Default Installed LED tri bar taillight

I love it. Fills the fender from side to side and looks great especially at night.

I also removed my rear turn signals and replaced them with some strut mounted LED lights. They slide on over the existing strut.

They aren't the brightest thing in the world but they show up pretty good.

A better picture of the turn signals. Also put on the Phantom axle bolt covers too to hide the axle nut and adjustment bolt. Looks cleaner I must say though not a big deal....just a little more finished.

Nice, I also have the Tribar taillight and love the look, where did you get those rear turn signals at? Also does anyone know if they're legal up in NY? I dont see why they wouldn't be, but ya never know with crazy *** NY laws...

I bought from a local Indy but Drag Specialties carries em....if you look at their website you can find em. They are NOT DOT certified though...SC doesn't require turn signals....I wanted something although idiots won't see a signal no matter how big it is.

Thanks for the compliments.

I will get a night photo tonight. It looks great lit up...very bright....even brighter than stock I think because it is wider.

I am debating dumping the tag bracket underneath and doing a side mount or not. I am not sure which way to go and what would look better.

yeah I was thinking the same with the plate myself, moving it to the side. What lowering kit do you have also? or did u just slam it? It seems a little lower than mine. I have the ness 2" drop. I may have to checkinto those turn signals too, thanks, looking good!!!

Mine is the Ness kit....I lowered the front too...that might be the difference.

What is involved in "slamming"?

If you have adjustable shocks, pulling them all the way down, or removing them altogether and making it a hardtail.

How does yours ride as far as suspension/comfortability with the way it sits right now?

It's ok...it will never be mistaken for an Ultra Glide or anything but it's nothing like a hardtail.
