Coming from a Valkyrie Interstate I feel my F6B needs a bit more rear light. Not a rolling LED display, just some useful added lighting to be seen at night. Mostly Brake Lights.
I have looked around and can't seem to find any good pictures of night shots to tell the difference between Kuryakyn or Show Chrome Rear Fender Tip lights. Cost and Install difficulty are low on my list as effective lighting is what I am after.
Any input from those that have or have seen???

Thanks

I should have know my search wasn't working right. I tried LED and nothing came back, and then REAR LED only "rear: came back. And that was a bit much to sort through.
As long as I know the subject is there I'll keep looking.

Thanks for the quick reply

7574 Not sure this is what you are looking for but it's on my bike. http://www.hyperlites.com/ I have the three way that work with the break and turn signal.

Not originally what I was after but once I looked around Hyperlights web site I may go that route. Thy look to be much brighter than the Fender Tip Lights I was looking at, and being seen is what I am after.
Thank You very much

I also added the swoosh lights on saddlebags that are also turn signals.

We sell both Kuryakyn LED Rear Fender Tips (http://store.valueaccessories.net/LEDRearFenderTipHondaGL1800GoldWing12andF6B.aspx) and Show Chrome LED Rear Fender Tip and have seen both installed. Both are equally popular, just the look you are after for the deciding factor with most people.

The Kuryakyn is going to be a little brighter and the matching LED Rear Vertical Strips are also available.

I liked the look of the Show Chrome in a Smoke Chrome Finish for the Paint scheme that we put on our F6B.
I also installed the Smoke Chrome License Plate Frame with Turn Signals (http://store.valueaccessories.net/CoutoursMotorcycleLEDLicensePlateFrameTurnSignals. aspx), Running and Brake. I wanted more running lights so I also installed the Kuryakyn Red Skinni Minni's (http://store.valueaccessories.net/SkinniMiniUltraBrightLEDStripLights.aspx) wired as Running Lights which Flash when the brakes are applied.
Everything is wired into the bike using a Kuryakyn Rear Adapter (http://store.valueaccessories.net/KuryakynRearAccessoryHarnessHondaGL180012andF6B.as px) and a 5 Pin flat trailer connector for hooking up to the Rear Fender Panel.
A Signal Dynamics BackOff XP (http://store.valueaccessories.net/backoffxpbrakelightsignalmodule.aspx) Flashes the Brakes and a Eclipze2 Modules, LED Single to Dual Intensity Converte (http://store.valueaccessories.net/Eclipze2Modules.aspx)r makes the Skinni Minnis run as Brake and Running Lights. I also have 360 Deg. LED Red Bulb's installed instead of the original Running/Brake Light Bulbs.
It looks good and very bright during the daytime and at night. The Skinni Minni's really get your attention flashing when the brakes are applied.

Thank you for the info. Defiantly like the looks of your bike.
I did order the Kuryakyn LED Fender Tip Light and a set of Hyperlites. That should get me seen when I brake!!!
