Default Flush mounted LED Tail light questions

Looking for someone that's done this before and can lend some advice.
I'm looking at the following manufacturer, Lambert Enterprises. Looking for advice specifically on size recommendations..my thoughts are to go with their 1x8 " LED Strips. They sell flush mounting ABS buckets as well as lens too. My question is more around load equalizers and such... I'm going to give them a ring as they seem like they are quite the experts to see what they recommend.

I would like to use them as running/brake/turn signals all in 1.

What are your thoughts?

I run Native Custom Baggers set up..check out my thread pics, but as far as load equilizers, a Badlands run/turn/brake controller will do the trick. that is what I have..

Just put LEDs on mine and used Biketronics run/turn/brake module. The module is plug in but you will have to custom wire the lights. Mine are wired to the circuit that feeds the turn signals on a stock bike and the module makes them work as run/brake/turn.

Great pictures and writeup, your bike looks sweet. I google'd Native Custom Baggers but looks like their site is down. Can you tell me...did you get your LED stuff with your bags or from a different vendor? They look like 10" strips, which is what I was looking for. Also, what did you do for rub strips on the bottoms of the bags?

Lastly..did you make or buy the end caps for your cut rear fender rail loop? I cut mine last year and haven't found something to fill the holes that looks good.
