There's also a piece of oak between the two T's, curved to match the top of the tour pack and padded with felt. Plus a strip of electricians tape on the tour pack that is removed when not in use, it protects the paing.

Provide clearance for wires to get below the seal area without pinching. Used a dremel to rout about half way through. I thought about just having slots, but then it would be trying to align the windshield with seven things, not just the three posts, and that would weaken it substantially Had to remember to do it on the front

Cut weatherstrip to pass wires down through, with wires straight and parallel. Hot melt glue wires out of the way. Add a couple of waterproof connectors instead of the eight twist-locks. To get in there, pull the windshield as normal, reach in and disconnect 3 connectors (one for the headlight) and DONE. No juggling.

Like I said, very bright and very noticeable, which is what I was hoping to get. Compare them to the CD LED turn signals.

The clear plastic part houses the LED assembly snaps over the tubing and is sealed to the tubing all the way around with a squished layer of silicone. You can see if it seals. Then the metal cover snaps in place and is screwed down. The clear plastic is visible all the way around the metal cover (it's the same size) and light gets out around the edges, which is cool. The clear part sticks out past the metal by about 1/8" or so, adding to side visibility.

Like I said, very bright, extremely noticable. Will update when I try it on the road.

The plastic housing sticks out through the metal cover by about 1/8" or so, plus it's flush with the metal cover all the way around. A smashed bead of silicone seals the plastic to the tubing all the way around, the metal cover just holds everything in place.

There's a clear cover under the entire polished stainless piece, and it's got silicone all the way around to seal the assembly. The wiring hole got gooped, too. Then the metal piece pops on over that, and is secured with the screws.

Shape block, drill holes for rails, cut off bottom so as to leave 'half of the holes' left. Screw bag base into block. Wrap with rope, velcro, bungee or something.
