Default More light on the back

I have never followed a stock Deluxe on the highway while its raining, but suspect the stock lights don't show up very well. I don't expect to do a lot of bad weather riding but in the event I need to I was thinking about some type of temporary flashing red led that could be attached to the tour pack on my 07 Deluxe. Any suggestions?

Just add Harleys Run- Turn- Brake module, lights up all 3 all the time.

I have that already. If there were a lot of road spray I still don't think they are all that visible.

Get a BAL ( Bright *** Light ) and be done.

It doesn't appear that BAL makes a replacement for the for the tombstone tail light but I guess I could mount this in the tour pack and wire it in. http://www.brightasslights.com/site/...&category_id=5

I went for a more conservative approach with my Deluxe but if you're running a tour pak, light that sukker up.

Lowered the tag, added an LED tag light, and the HD R/T/B adapter. I then downsized bullet lamps to half the wattage so the lights blend together. Still bright at night though.

I change all of my wife's rear lights and front signals to Custom Dynamic led's. They are very bright.

If you're just looking for a flasher, get a Back-Off flasher. EZ install, just some cutting and splicing, all under the seat.
I had 1, liked it. But then went with a Run/Brake/Turn and a BAL-2, I'm foolish that way.

Think the rear light on your Deluxe is bad, I followed a guy on a wide Glide some while ago which had one of those small limp dick type rear lights, which they have here in the UK, and you could hardly see it, even in dry weather, wouldn't like to be riding one of those when it's dark and raining.
