Nice, I was thinking of doing something similar to increase the rear visibility of my Nightster. How difficult is the wiring installation? I'm assuming there isn't a need for a load equalizer if you are adding an LED light to the stock rear stop/signal lights.

It looks good. Do you have a run/turn/stop in the back so your turn signals act as brake lights? Do you have bright LED's in your turn signals? The reason I ask is that not long ago I was driving in heavy traffic and in front of me was a guy on a Harley who had a similar brake light but no turn signals, so no other possible brake lights. His fender run/ brake light was so poor that I could barely tell if it was even lit, and when he hit the brakes the difference in brightness was minimal. I was really afraid for this guy getting rear ended at some point.
My point is, make sure you're safe before finishing the project. Have a riding buddy follow you to get an idea of how the lights look on the street. Good luck!

I have ordered the run / turn / brake for the Indian as I ride it more at night.
