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?

Yes 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.
