Default Other light options?

Hey all...I am putting a KTP on my '05 EG Standard w/AirWing rack and LED light for more visibility. I'm not trying to look like a XMas tree, but what other ideas do you have to make me a tad more visible? I already put in the turn signal/brake light kit and that has been a nice, cheap addition. I know that I can also add the TP brake/tail lamp kit, too, but I don't think I can add the side marker light kit...or am I wrong on that?

Thanks for any ideas!

One of the first mods I made was to add a Radiantz 14.7" strip near the top of the tourpack.




The Radiantz #4713-15 is 115 leds wide , at each end the last 15 leds are separate if you want to use a directional function and the middle as run/brake.
I just wired them together and run the whole thing as run/brake.
Nice subdued look and impressive light intensity when on.
I've been rear ended twice on a bike , so rear lighting is important to me.
Give Kieth at http://ridetimetechnology.com/ a call , he's got some neat goodies for tourpacks.
I also have the FlashR unit , glide lights , badlands illuminator , and RTQC (old model).

Thanks for the ideas, Mick! I like the side lights a lot and will probably go that route one I get the KTP on!

Yes, you can add the sidemarker lights to the King TP; they're in HD's accessory catalog.

On my Ultra TP, I have the HD tour pak spoiler LED, as well as the RTB conversion kit for the TP corner lights.

However, the best light I put on the rear of the bike is the BAL-1R tail light.

+1 for the brightasslight.com. Just added to my rking. There are about 23 patterns with 3 intensities. Some are parade mode. I run one of the top 3 or 4 patterns you go through with the mid-intensity. Plenty bright!
