Tail Light

[rocket31998]

I agree. The OEM tail and brake lamp are pitiful. Same issue for the front headlamp.

On the front, I've added (like most) the PIAA Xtreme Blue (H4) lamp. Much better. Also added this same type lamp to the driving lamps (H3).

On the rear, I added some chrome bracketry and Chris Products LED dual function lamps. Lamp shape is very close to OEM. I then installed a Kisan TailBlazer to these LED lamps and ran the stop and brake lamps off the Kisan. Great looks and the LED lamps are so quick to react and can be seen day or night. The TailBlazer quickly flashes the OEM brake light and the two LED lamps.

Conspicuity is what it is all about baby.

If you need a picture, let me know.

I have Knightriderz LED bars on the tour pack. They work great for attention and visibility and the Triumph light bar makes a big difference on the front. I also have a headlight modulator on the front for daytime attention!

Pics would be great, captain g! Conspicuity is paramount!

Yep,
I agree, I got a knightrider led on the center of my sissybar.
Looks like a cylon faceplate going back and forth continuously,
then hit the brake and it flashes 3 or 4 times then stays on.
Very visible, just ask TDragger, he was behind me on the dragon.

Would really appreciate a 'how to' on this

Rademis strip lights

First off let me say that brightness and function was my goal. I was willing to give up on how cute it may look.
These strip lights were bought at PEP BOYS, they have a peel of sticky back. I left the peel off cover on, then I inserted each light inside of some clear pvc tubing. I sealed each end closed with clear silicone. then I mounted them in between the metal wrap pieces around the saddlebags. They were just long enough to cover the back of the bag and curve forward just two inches or so. They are held in position with small black cable ties. Then just splice into the brake light wire, and ground to bike structure.
Like I said most guys might not want to do this because it looks a little "home made", but to me it was well worth the extra protection. Rademis

Actually,
I think its an excellent idea.
Besides, I like Homemade.

Thanks for that. I think they look good and the increase in visibility is what I"m after

They look real sharp!

Improving brake and tail lights

Are there any plug-in kits for improving tail and brake lights for 2007 Rocket III (classic model)?
