i can relate man. that's a hell of an idea though. once the welder gets it right, it's gonna look awesome on the bike.

Looks great even not centered I took a cheaper approach went to Strauss stores and bought a 10 inch red flexible LED strip for $8 and mounted just under the fender lip so the lights only show when lit with double sided tape wired it up and now I have an additional brake light along with my side mount and my run turn brake signals good luck with the second weld hope he gets it right just goes to show if you want something right do it yourself

That really sucks that it is off center. Man, even though it is, looks like your doing a nice clean job fabbing.

Did you weld it or slice the fender?

You are/were part of the inspiration! Mine is just running/brake light no indicators in it. The LED array doesn;t bend that way. Its a double curve: horizontal and vertical (a bit)

Hey Ottis,
Let me start off with NICE BIKE!! Unfortunately you won't be able to use the Radiantz array on you fender with this type of bend. It is a great product but they won't flex the way you need them to on the Rocker rear fender. The board only flexes one way and if you try to bend it the opposite like the sweep you need it will break the board.
