Some nice looking bikes. The leds on the RG look good but I would want more as well. People are too busy doing other things while they are driving these days. The Native Bagger stuff loks sharp too.

This is what I did. Completely invisible when off but when on it is very bright and easily visible even in the day. Took a while to get the right led units in there, alot of trial and error but these ones are really bright and the best/worst part of it all is that these were the cheapest ones too.

believe it or not the led units are led trailer lights that I wired in. They are real small and only needed a little modification to fit in.
I am located in Marlborough, you from here too?

Yes, they are wired as run/turn/brake. They are setup to be run as run and brake so I have an inline converter on the brake side for turn also. Thanks for the compliments. Good thing was that it only cost under $120 for 6 units compared to the other led panels I tried that were $100 plus a piece. And these ones seem to be alot brighter plus come in a nice sealed enclosure. I have them velcroed on the bag individually so just in case one fails it will be an easy replacement.

That's actually a great idea. I have the LED lights on my car trailer and they are bright as hell.
