I think every single part that Sinister makes is badass! Those look good.

I'm really thinking some type of vertical lights on the fender is gonna be the way i go. That'll keep me from having more wires to have to disconnect from the bags when taking them off for cleaning, maintenance or whatever...
(I'm already gonna have speaker wires into both & probably amp wires into one)...

Be careful with having them as the only lights in the back. I had LED's in my axle covers on my Nightrain and in bright sunlight you could not see them at all, not good for having the cages be able to see you. just my 2 cents...

Yeah, thats the only bad thing about buying LED's without seeing them in person.
There's such a broad range of brightness in them. And more expensive doesn't always mean brighter.
I have LED's under a smoked FLHX lens right now & they are very bright, but its almost like they don't dim enough when just the tail light is on. (Not much difference between the 2)

I may go ahead and order these and see how good they are before i drill the holes. May even temporarily mount with some 2 sided tape & get a buddy to follow me to make sure they look ok before i permanently mount them...

What light converter module works best when not running a center brake light?

Biketronics TailBones ?... http://www.radiantz.com/index1.html?c59.html&1

Does it work with LED's or will i need a separate load equalizer??
