I like that a lot. How did you tap into your wiring? I want to be able to easily remove the tour pak.

My bike has a tour pak wire harness/plug already on it. Don't think yours does. If it does look under the left side cover by the right lower corner of the fuse block and it will be zip tied to the antenna wire.

You might want to check out the Whelen strip-lite.

stuff like that is sometimes with alarm systems

the ikea leds were in the clearance section for $1.99 they spec'd 12 volts, so I just cut off the adapter.

I use the cheap eBay version of the cvo led wrap, its run/brake with the center lights as the brake. Side by side with my buddies 2012 cvo ultra they are actually brighter, but the new 2014 tour pack lights are a little brighter. Also added eBay tinted LED side marker lights and a Harley air wing LED in the luggage rack that is run/brake. On the back of the bike I also have the Harley tri bar run/brake light and added custom dynamic red led lights in place of the stock bulbs. I can be seen easily! All the plugs to wire the lights for a tour pack are zip tied behind the fuse panel under the side skirt.

I did mine with Radio Shack strip lights. Also added lights under the arm rest to shine directly into the saddle bags. You will need this switch to make it go off when you close the top. I ran the wires directly to the battery with a 1amp fuse to bypass the canbus system.
