Default Slick 3Rd brake light

Hi Folks, I haven't posted for a while, been riding and enjoying retirment, But . I Have always wanted a 3rd brake light, on the Ultra, but I wanted something that looked good and was not gaudy. I don't run a tour pack rack, Personal preferance. Anyhow, I had a 3rd brake light off a 94 Chevy Suburban, Don't laugh. I Turned it upside down and put it under the tour pack. The contour is the same as the tour pack ! With a simple plate I bolted it to the 2 back studs sticking out of the tour pack botton. No drilling holes in the tour pack, not even for the wire to run it! I will post pictures in a couple of days, when I get it wired. The over all length covers the botton edge of the tourpack from one side marker light end to the other side marker light end. The light face is under the tour pack about 3/4 of an inch.

Ride Time Technology sells a great LED run/turn/brake lightbar that mounts on the back face (not the rack) of the tour pack. It's about $91 if I recall correctly. I put one on mine, and I love it.

Default Picture of Chevy Suburban 3rd brake light installed

Here it is mounted on my old tour pack, before I mount it on the bike. The light contains 40 LED lights !!! As I said before. No Holes drilled for mounting or wiring ! Just a 1 in. wide stainless steel plate 2 1/2 inches long, bolted to the existing studs on the bottom of the tourpack.

Always good to see someone use thier brain & do it a different way vs just buying a part from a book. Looks Good
