Default Additional rear Lighting

I want to jazz up the rear of my SGS but also add some more much needed lighting. Would you please posts pics of the rear of your bikes so I may glean some ideas of what I'd like to do.

It might not appeal to all. But I like a lot of red lights on the rear. Those are led combo stop and turn signals on the saddle bags. The two close little bitty stock just about got me rear ended a couple of times.

The Coocase lights are brake lights only. Can you see me now?

Don't have a picture but I went with Plasma Rods and LED's in the others. In the spring I am going to the LED's in the Tribar with run/brake combo and magic strobe.

I agree,the more light,the better. But i feel to really be seen you need a flasher like one of these from www.signaldynamics.com

Genuine HD LED lights for stop/turn/running lights and fender tip. The tour pack is an aftermarket unit in which I installed LED stop/turn/running lights. Below the tour pack stop/turn lights are amber running lights, but they are incandescent 194 bulbs. Not very bright. My plan is to replace the 194s with a set of "oh-fishul" police strobes which are activated by a separate button up front somewhere. When someone starts to tail gate me I'll give 'em a few seconds of that and I bet they back off.

Hide-A-Way strobes

Fellow riders say that I am very visible on the road.

Just changing your stock bulbs to LED style like custom dynamics will make you bike so much more noticeable. If you really want more then a tour pack helps.
Here's a pic with my tour pack on, you can see the custom dynamic lights in my turn signals are much brighter than the rest of my rear LED lights. This would be my first place to start.
