Hi guys

Thanks for all the positive comments.
For the channel, it was fabricated by someone associated with my local dealer, but basically it was an L-shape peice notched into the bottom lip and closed off at either end. It also has a hole in one side where the wires feed through. I've attached another closer view photo which hopefully helps, if not I will try and get some different ones.
The LED strip was a total of 11" long, including 1" either end for the turn signals, leaving 9" for the brake/run light.

Looks Good....good luck with the Radiantz LED...I used them and it started burning out in 6 months...they wanted me to send it back, so they could see if it got wet????WTF...I finally said screw it and got Custom Dynamics ...it was brighter from the get-go and is holding up well.

Sort of the same thing I did. I slotted the fender near the edge, then welded in a piece of sliced SS tubing for a channel. Then drilled out one end for wires and epoxied it in place.

Here's an old picture:



Your ride came out sweet!

Here is my LED, on the shorter fender version (see sig picture)

It takes a little more work as the strip has to be cut to allow it to bend "vertically"...
