I'm looking for ideas for lighting for an aftermarket tourpack. Brake lights, running lights, turn signals, and so forth. Even reflectors, whatever would help to make the bike more visible (within reason, I don't want it to look like a Filipino taxicab). There are no lighting recesses fabricated into it, so anything would have to be surface-mounted or I'd have to cut openings for them. Pictures would be appreciated.

I've been thinking about mounting these on my saddlebags for that "Something" extra on the rear of the bike. -Rich

I know some Filipino taxi cab drivers that would be offended by that.......................

You got something against Jeepneys?

bobzinger · 05-01-2008, 05:13 PM

redeye I've often thought those would look good on the bags. My only problem is how far will they stick into the bag.

No, I have nothing against Jeepneys, just the first thing that popped into my head as an example of something with an excess of lights and "shiny stuff".

I might someday graft some mini '59 Cadillac tail fins on my bags with the twin bullet taillights. People would think I'm nuts though. ;)

Do it! I think it would be great! Then you could get some of those muffler tips that have fins on them. :)
