Default TailLight ideas?

I'm thinking about bobbing my rear fender kinda like a nightster, my question is what can I do for a tail light? I don't wanna just run the turn signals as tails. I'd rather have a light just for the brakes as much as people can't drive.

Try a Google image search for bobber fender, you will find lots of pics of different setups, and maybe one you like.
I have made several different setups for beaver tail fenders, but not what you are asking about....yet.

You can go with a tag relocation bracket and a brake light on top, it mounts on the left side of the bike on the axle.
You could also chop the fender, under the back of the fender and put an led strip brake light w/ or without integrated turn signals.
Several different ways. I am in the same boat trying to think what would be best,
I like the tag relocate and the brake light on top.

I've already relocated my plate, no light though (In Mo you don't have to have one)


I like the little LED light idea's I might do that.

Just order the bracket with the brake light mounted on top of it and call it a day.It looks cool and looks like the bobber style.
