We have seen some under the trunk and they are difficult to see.

Are the underneath ones just for the glow effect or are you looking for tail lights?

more lights more save

BigR55,
  I really like those on the side of the tour pack! I haven't seen them before. It looks like they can be seen both side and rear which is great. Let us know what they are, how they mount, and how bright they are.
  I'm not sure what you're going to do with the strip yet but I'd be interested to see. I just ordered the 14.7" Radiantz LED strip to mount on the rear of the tour pack. Like you see on this site. If you haven't already found what I'm talking about, search on "Rear LED" for the last 365 days and you'll find it.

Nice!  Who makes the side lights?

[RJ749]

I wonder if they are these Kury lights?

that was my guess, but you beat me to their web site to check

[BigR55]

Yes RJ, these are the Kury lights you pictured. Thanks for looking up the part #.
Mounting....You have to drill four holes in your leather tour box, ouch! Measure very carefully!
BG, the lights were for forks on a Heritage I think. The under frame mount and studs are not the best design. They have slots for the t-headed studs to slide in. I might gas weld the frames to the studs and then paint before I finish wiring.

I read the thread about the 4 wire aux plug in front of the battery. Hope it has tail and brake light services. I picked up some LED 1156 single element lamps to use in them so they should be bright.

At Bike Week in Daytona, I had a couple of CVO owners scratching their heads. I think they look good because the profile matches the crome medallion on top of the tour pack. Just wanted to have some honest opinions from you guys.
Did anyone install the lighted rear fender trim?

As a complete aside; I wonder if the mounting holes through the outer leather and inner body might actually help the sagging or wrinkling leather problem that some have complained about.  A fixed pair of points on each side to keep it pulled tight might help.

Thanks RJ for fixing the photo. Used my KRAZR phone camera and could not edit it.
BG, I want the Kury lights to be on all the time with the tails lights and have the strip light animate with one led going left and one right, then they all flash together until the next time.

Hi Twolane,
It may help. I have not had the wrinkle problem after drying out. I did get the bike soaked for two days. After drying out the leather returned to normal.

I like the look I might do the same if you don't mind.
