Nice! What does it look like during the day? Is it bright enough for a cager to see?

Sweet! this mod is on my "to do" list also. I love those Plasma Rods.
You did a nice job.
Like another reply said- "welcome to the sickness"!

Very nice! A lot cleaner too.

Dumb question...what happened to the mounting holes in the fender for your old tail light?

Wow that looks nice! Would like to do the same to mine. What run/brake/turn module did you use?

[QUOTE=cchenf50;11172496]Well I got my first Street Glide on 04/05/2013 after selling my VTX. I must say that getting this bike is the best decision I have ever made. I wasn't too big on the stock 09 tail light set up (although the brake light was a genuine HD LED..

Looks awesome.. plasma rods? Or did you make them up?

Saturday Morning



Saturday Night


Not Illuminated
I hope you ride paying close attention to what's behind you. Lots of guys here are trying to find ways to put more light on the back of SG's that don't have tail lights.

As for bolting on some bulky metal license plate frame, if it floats your boat, go with it.

Thanks for all of the comments. As far as going through and answering each individual question I'll try to do it all here.

Yeah, they're plasma rods. Plenty bright enough during the day, just don't have any pics right now. I've been rear ended before and it ain't fun, but I'm confident enough in these. As far as the R/T/B module, I used the Kury one.

For the VTX question, here's a pic of the rear. It does'nt look like much but it was super bright. The third brake light on the curved Kury plate frame is a custom dynamics truflex.

The Yaffe Stealth III plate mount utilizes the turn signal holes to mount and then covers the stock tail light hole.
