    Here are the after with the rake kit, air ride new back seat, sissy bar, HID headlight and LEDs. I made both front and rear brackets for the lights.

    The rear wrap around LED blinks amber for left/right turn and then the whole thing lights up super bright red when front or rear break is applied.

    Yes he did a real fine job , I help with the air ride set up & the front end Just gave a good support on the rear lights & put a finger in when needed he made the rear brackrt from plex glass & metel , he bent it to the shape of the rear fender , & just to the inside so the leds are even with the fender tip looks better in person :cool:

    What did you do to address water from the rear tire spraying into the area where the LEDS are mounted?
    That is one good setup idea.
