Looking to get rid of my tail lights in exchange for a rear fender light. Something along the lines of either the radiantz light/turn signal or the custom dynamics option. Not seeing too many others out there. What are everyone's opinions of either? I saw some threads from a few years ago, but didn't want to necro them and wanted to see how some of those are holding up over the years. Thanks!
I put a chrome glow side firez strip under the fender on my Slim when I did the 200mm rear. It serves as run brake and turn. Second year with no issues. Bright as Hell! This pic is in daylight and in a shop that is lit up fairly well. They make a version or two specific for the Breakout.
Chromelow as well. It's pricy but the quality is good and the LEDs are bright. I also left the rear turn signals off...the LED tubing is smoked and it looks like there are no rear lights when it's parked and slammed down. It gets quite a bit of attention here in the UK.
I also went with the Chrome Glow light tube. Mine broke away from the fender after sitting 24 hours and a 200 mile ride. I prepped it like it said and put clothes pins to hold it in place.
I wrote to them about it, with pictures, they weren't the most helpful people. The even said out of over 500+ light, NONE has ever fell off. So I feel privileged to have the only one in the history of that company to fall off.

I also went with chrome glow run/brake/turn. They do work great, however, for me I did not think they were bright enough for stand alone so I still have side markers (but I do stay more on the cautious side so take it for what its worth). I will also admit that I made a slight error in installing them. You should place them at the very end of the fender for maximum visibility. I placed mine about 1/8 of an inch inside my fender to give an even cleaner look. I didn't think it would make a difference but it does. With my bike at stock height they are still fairly visible but when I lower the bike I am told that you cannot see them very well from a cars vantage point (silly me, you live and learn). Product works well as advertised, just don't make the same mistake I did. I will probably relocate my to the proper position at some point but I'm feeling pretty lazy right now.
