Default Little more rear end light
After a good scare with some squealing brakes behind one of my buddies and the fact that my razor PAC has become a permanent part of the bike I started looking for some extra light.

Didn't want anything that stuck out but added some light for visibility.

Ended up with a LED strip from Custom Dynamics I think it turned out pretty good. It's tucked under the Razor PAC so isn't real noticeable except when lit up.

Yep, CD FTW! I also added a tour pack rack with a brake light, and a LED plate bracket.

Lots o light back there now

Blinkers can be red or yellow on the rear in the US so you can use the blinkers for both brake/turns.

In some other countries they can't so these models come with a separate taillight.

Do you have brake lights in your tri-bar light as well?

That's how mine is setup. Planning on adding the LED signal / brake lights as well.
