How did you wire them up? Did you use one of CD's run/brake controllers? If so, what part #? Thanks.

THANKS GUYS!! No,I'm running turn signals only. I took the plasma rod wire slipped the black wire into the black ground of the connector in the pic<turn signals plug for tour pack> then put on turn signals to figure out right & left.Then tapped into the wiring harness at the end of the chrome support on the left in the pic.You can see in the other pic i ran the plasma wires thru the holes in the chrome supports all the way up to the end of the chrome supports under seat.FYI, IF YOU LOOK AT THE PIC LOOKING DOWN AT THE PLASMA ROD YOU CAN SEE THAT THE SUPPORT TAPERS IN FROM WHERE THE SADDLEBAG MOUNTS UP,ITS PERFECTLY SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE SADDLEBAG

What are the plasma rods actually sticking to? From your pictures and looking at that area on my bike, there doesn't seem to be any flat surface for the 3M tape to stick to.

FastSteel, Epoxy Putty Stick. I filled the middle valley just shy of the top edge. If you look at the pic of the plasma rod mounted on the right side you can see Epoxy. I didn't put any Epoxy in the upper or lower valley just the middle only because I ran out.
