Default Dumb plasma rod question

Ok. So I've been searching all night on this site and others and just can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I want to know if anyone had pictures of plasma rods taken from the side of the bike, or are they just not visible from that angle.

If that is the case, it's there a way to mount them so they are legal? And bythat I mean with at least 180 degree visibility in the back while keeping the stealth look in the saddlebags fleet strip area. Our is this just not possible and I should just settle for HD saddlebag Lights?

I'm asking because I recently found out how easy removing the tour pak and rack is, and all I need is turn signals in the back now. Plus I need to relocate the license plate.

Again, I would love to see pics of plasmas from the side, but I couldn't even find any on Google. Thanks in advance.

won't happen.

wander down to Kreator, see if they have anything of interest for you.

many of us use the roadking signal bar/plate mount.
it has plate light integrated into it.

That's really disappointing to hear. I would rather find another plate mount and get the hd saddlebag lights. And just so I'm clear, when you say won't happen you mean you can't mount them so it's legal? Do Canadians just not use plasma rods?

limited visibility, viewing angle...that's why you had trouble finding pics.

many are sunk into filler strips between bags and fender ( which i didn;t bother with)

I don't know what the CDN DOT requirements are...

way i see it, deleted lights or loud pipes are just a way to get unwanted attention from guys in purple cars.

but don't take my word for this, check some of the vendors.
i've used some Custom Dynamics stuff to good result

Yeah, I think the cheapest way to keep it legal is to get the new harley led bag lights. Then I also need the plate mount. I've searched for the part number for the mount in the kit (67900167) with no luck. I just can't seem to find any mounts at all for a 2014.

I either can't use the Internet properly tonight, or "someone" is censoring my Internet. With all the money spent on the bike recently I'm wondering if my wife suddenly became a techie. Lol
