These guys may have some cool stuff to help accomplish your objective:

Plasma Rods mounted "under" your bags may be an option?

I agree with leave it clean.  I wondered how the saddle bag spoiler lights might look on the bike for more lighting from the rear, but it means more wiring from the bike into the saddle bags.
SBB had the painted to match spoilerson his 09. I thought they looked good, not a whole bunch of light though.

You Guys are really cool,

Helping me get through the long wait for BIG BLUE with this planning and dreaming....  Now down to about 13 weeks, 4 days, 11 hours, 12 minutes....
BUT WHO IS COUNTING... heh he... :cowboy:

Big Blue is so definitely Cool, and so rare here in Australia I might now ever even be parked up with another one...  I will keep it clean all Custom like the CVO Team designed it...

Here is a scary one, my Dealer local is pretty cool and straight with me, and he just put a 120R motor with all the chrome, into a Dresser...  The bad thing is he called me to say how AWESOME the motor ran on test drive.  It is coming in for a 1000 km Service and he said he had to call me...  I guess he figures I am a SUCKER for such toys with two CVO's..... 

This is a little  :jack:  but WOW, 2000 cc, I will try and get a picture and a Dyno report when it comes in for the Service and Dyno to see what scratch it generate... Look for the new Topic.. (120R is legal on the road here cause nobody knows about it)..heh he  Things have sure come a long way from my 1966 Shovelhead jammed into a 57 straight legged rigid frame with suicide clutch and jockey shifter 40 years ago......

Maybe I will have a 110 sitting in my living room in a cradle for accents...Just to set the Wife off...  :furious2:  he heh....

Best regards from Australia...  :cowboy:

I agree too much for the bike. It would cover the nice flames and paint too much.

Cool, Island Dude, I am over that one right now...

 :jack: :jack:

Island Dude: On your FLHTCUSE6 you said you had the V&H Dresser Duals and the Monster Rounds...  Can you post a picture of the exhaust side?  It sounds like a good choice, and V&H are the biggest in stock here..  Thinking I might do the same and save the stock CVO exhaust.  Making my mind up in the next 6-8 weeks while my bike is in transit and being converted, between what you did and modding the stock instead of saving it..

Pictures would be a big help.. Thanks in advance...  If you do not have a digital camera or know how to do it, then OK, thanks anyway...   Cowboy..

Riding at night, the RG CVO is lit well in the back. Buddy told me it really stands out. He also told me its not a bike but a convertible without doors. LOL

Cowboy, there are other options if you think you can't be seen at night once you get your new BIG BLUE.

There are "Bright Ass Lights": http://www.brightasslights.com/site/

You could also get a paint/body shop to cut some LED lights into the rear portion of your saddlebags.
Hitech makes a number of different flush mount LED lights in different shapes that can be used.
Here is the link to flushmount LEDs and they have other LED light options including some replacement or existing light fixtures.

Thank you Desert Hog,
Good country you have there....  Full moon light in the desert, cool, very very coool....  We have those kind of places here, but have to watch out for the roos, a major drama, kangaroos can to to 5' to 6' tall in places..

I have abandoned the idea of the light bar, I was just fishing for ideas, and to ugly up a CVO certainly drew some responses out...  I know about the LED lights in the boxes, I have considered them in the SESG I have now.

Look, if you are a good rider, and anticipate idiots at every intersection, then the highest chance of a problem is from the back end...  You can cover all the bases, but that is one that is tough and why I want to LIGHT UP THE WORLD... heh he...  Anyway, thank you, top Bloke..  Cool Links, ride on Brother.....
