Thanks for the replies. Saw one at the dealer today. Like the looks of the rack, but I agree that the lights are not very bright. Still not sure which one I am going to get.

Wife got the rack for me for Christmas. It took me about an hour to put it on. I'll get the light kit next week. Now I know why the one bolt, (3/8) has a hole in it. It would have been nice if they had just used the same 3/8 bolt for all the legs. Who owns a 9/32 drill bit?
Howtodoit: Is that the red or smoked lens you have?

I have this with the smoked lens on my '09 Ultra. The smoked lens doesn't show so you don't know there is a light there until it comes on. I like having the additional break like at the cager eye level.

I like the looks of mine but I think it is smaller than the original.

pbsdaddy: I put the smoked lens one on my bike, you don't really see it till it is on, guys I ride with, who have been behind me at night says it shows up really well, and it is up at cager eye level.

Thanks, howto......
I liked the look of the dark one too. Guess that made my choice for me.

I just installed mine today with the red lense, racks looks great, LED is dimmer than the spolier LEDs ones. The extra rear light is nice. Tommorrow I will install the fender light extension kit.

You guys check this out: http://www.ridetimetechnology.com/ft_48led.htm, installed it yesterday and it is good. Replaced that little 4 watt bulb with LEDs and it works as an extra brake light. Install was easy and it is bright even in the daylight
