Nice work. I did the same thing with mine but had the lights exposed a bit more and hooked them up to the brake light...



I also had a flasher module. One piece of advice...get some Shoo Goo and use it around the edges of that light. It's waterproof and will give you a bit more hold than just the double sided tape. That's what I used to mount mine and it worked very well.

I like it. Nice job.

I put some LED's up under the EZBrackets. I used 4" strips, one for running, and one for brake lights on each side.
They reflect nicely off the chrome and make the bike very noticeable from the side, especially at night.
I got the lights at www oznium.com

Thanks!

Also, the taillight is the HD LED model, and the 4 bolts that hold the license plate in the frame are actually hollow chrome with a small LED in the middle of each bolt.The axle covers also have small LED's in them. I can now be fairly sure that I'll never be rear ended because someone "didn't see" me.

Sorry for the pic quality. It's the result of a touchy phone camera and a shivering hand.

How did you get the LED strip to point outwards? Did you ise some type of L bracket?
