Just researching looking for ideas. Not sold on anything yet

I hear you, just felt a little snarky last night.

You're ruining your back fender! They best looking back fender HD makes to add a 3rd light? C'mon man.

Agreed.

Those saddlebag lights are fugly. They truly look like an after thought.

Yeah I am tending to agree that there isn't really a good option that does not take away from the looks of the rear end and still increases safety visibility. 

One last thought were the plasma rods from custom dynamics that would go between the bags and bike and run parallel with the existing LED brake lights.

i don't think that the parallel lights with the taillights and then the plasma rods will add that much visibility.  imo, the best thing that you could do to increase vis is to add the magic brake light flasher from custom dynamics.  get those taillights flashing and you'll stand out a big more.

if i am stuck waiting to turn left, and i see traffic coming up behind me, i'll release the brakes and then hit them again (i have mine set to flash, and then go solid).  that will get the brake lights flashing, and so far, i've not had anyone almost pancake me.

There's a you tube video of the plasma rods on the custom dynamics website that may help you decide.  For more visibility when stopped this would be my choice, rather than cluttering up the clean rear fender with a 3rd brake light.

I like the idea of the magic brake light flasher.  Plus only a $50 dollar mod.
