So I have a BD rear fender and extended bags with plasma rods, have had them for 4 yrs or so. No one has ever complained about not being able to see my lights on the rear till the other day.
Group of us rode to the Dallas Bike Show and I led the way, we got there and everyone said my tail lights sucked. What are you running and what are the brightest with minimal cutting and cost.
At night they are fine, sitting in the garage they are fine, I guess in direct sunlight they don't show up. Do plasma rods loose brightness over time? I don't see how but I guess anything is possible.
Input and pictures would be appreciated.

 

I have the Custom Dynamics Bullet Ringz and have been told that they put people in a trance in full sun. They are bright....really visible in the daytime. Don't know if that works with your setup or not.

 

My rear, lights on noon sunlight, I did not realize it was this bad .

 

Yep, that's pretty bad. The Bullet Rings aren't going to work for you.

 

Everyone I rode with were stock setup and very visible, some had the LED, some were stock. I followed on the way home to observe lol

 

With the filet panels on your bike, I would try the Ciro filler panel lights and maybe the bag blades along with them. Yeah, it won't be as clean as it is now but could save your butt.

I know your bags are stretched--but are they otherwise the same as stock bags except for the stretched extra at the bottom? I'm thinking the Custom Dynamics LED run/brake/turn lights for your bags might be great for you. HD makes pretty much the same except they cost more (surprise, surprise!) and the Custom Dynamics are available either with standard or sequential turn signals. I'm gonna put them on my RGU in the Spring. Hope this video I copied pastes OK here:

 

I'm thinking this might work? You should be able to replace your existing license plate frame with this? It's from Radiantz LED Lighting.

Added the Ciro Bag Blades on my Limited:

Ther're available in dual color (red tail & stop, sequential amber turn) or all red. Not too distracting when off on a black bike, but you may not want it on the back of that clean tail.
