Gommee, what tail light is that you're running? Might just be the angle of the picture, but it looks like the thinnest low profile I've ever seen, me like. Nice side view too, and no rear shift for me either. Too many non-Harley years on bikes I guess. Just never did feel right to me.

Hey guys, just came out to garage, figured I could make some posts before playing with the Lo!

Nope, pulled that thing off before I could blink! I had only ever used it for getting into Neutral. The first time your pant cuff gets caught on it when you have to put your leg down in a hurry, yours will be gone too!

That Sir, is the thinnest LED Tail Light I have ever been able to find. I found them on Ebay. There are two different models, Tail light (three wire) and Tail light with integrated signals (five wire). The current one on the bike has integrated signals. Not having the signals stick out cleans the back end up. I have ordered Alloy Art Fender strut signals a new tail light with no signals. Changing it up a bit.

All I do is move the connector around, still using the connector from the original stock light, I just take the wires out and insert the new light wires into the connector. Just plugs right in. No cutting, no soldering.

Were you able to open the ebay link? Current one is pretty bright even with the outside rows being amber signals. I bought the Integrated one from a US seller. The new one is coming from China.

I had 2 of the ones I just ordered, but I sold them. They were pretty bright.
