So here are my back lights. There are 8 running lights. Then when I hit the brake you see the 2 Plasma Rods from Custom Dynamics which are mounted on the hardbags. That give 5 brake lights. And with the Kuryakan Triple Whammy the main taillights flash 3 time when applied.

Same position. Was just wondering what it looked like. I definitely like all the lights with the lights on, was wondering how it looked with the brake / running lights off. You know, what it looks like in daylight.

Ballast,

Very nice. Thanks for posting the other pics. Really like it. Gives me a better idea of what you did.

Are the Plasma rods the verticles on either side of the main, between the bags and bike?

http://s2.images.proboards.com/cool.gifYes the plasma rods are white and can be seen between the bags and the frame.

Very nice. You know, I can rewire my whole house, but when it comes to bike electrics, my mind goes blank. I just bought a HF Tag-along trailer, have to do the wiring. Was thinking about going LED on the trailer and do some stuff like you did on your bike at the same time. I have no idea even where to start.

Does Washington State allow Yellow running lights on the rear Tennessee they have to be red on the rear.

They are not yellow. I didn't check the white balance when I did the pictures. They are all red.

Just thought I would ask they were changing them out one year at PCB bike week and letting everyone know that yellow in Fla was not legal and their state had to be legal yellow or they would give them a ticket in Fla . thats when I checked on Tenn. and found they had to be red. Looks good lots of lights I am adding a turn signal kit to mine from Elec. Connection and may add one of the flashing brake lights over the license plate like on a post that someone had on here earlier.

Can you send me a list of the parts of the lights and where you got them so that I can do somewhat of the same. I like the illumination. Better than the stock light.

The four new lights are from Custom Dynamics.
http://www.customdynamics.com/

The Plasma Rods are on the bags. I have adhesive strips and I ran the wires into the bag and back out further forward.

The lower 2 lights are these:
http://www.customdynamics.com/knight_rider_led_light_bar.htm

I used some stainless steel to make some mounts and screwed them to the lower bag rails. I drilled a hole and ran the wires into the rail, out the front of the rail, into the rear crash guard in a hole that is already there. They run up the inside of the crash guard and come out up near the side covers. They are dual intensity but I have not decided if I want to use them as brake lights or turn signals as well as running lights.


There you have it. Easy as pie.
