WAY Low Profile Tail Light Options

I'm wondering what some of you guys might have done to solve this problem. I can't think of anything worse than building an awesome fuckin' seat only to have to throw some ugly ass, clunky eye sore of a light on it just to be street legal. From what i've seen so far of most "low profile" accessories, they all pretty much destroy the look of almost any seat cowling.

it's for a 'glass seat i'm laying up. i'm gonna run it by a close deputy friend of mine to see what i can reasonably get away with. michigan vehicle code is horribly vague like that. i do know you poor suckas out east have it much worse than we do...at least in terms of codes and requirements. you don't even need winkers in michigan...regardless of whether or not your bike came with 'em. do you guys need two mirrors too?

the same company that's selling that tiny pair in that link also sells banks of three. i don't see why i couldn't also just use as many as necessary to meet any wattage requirement i might find.

geeto: those round truck lights are cool as hell. my original plan was to do basically the same thing with dual filament bullets mounted up under the pan like that on either side of the plate. i like your idea of frenching in a round light, but was trying to keep the fabrication as minimal as i could in efforts to get the prick on the road in the shortest amount of time. something like frenching that is a real committment too...i more about veratility and options on this bike. nice bike by the way. assuming it's yours, did you do the tank mods? if so, good on ya, mate!

...it'dd look better with clubmans though.

BTW, for anyone who cares to know, after some exhaustive reasearch, most states seem to default to the SAE intensity standard of 500 foot visibility.

i also checked out various trailer lights that'll work well too. some LED and all very affordable.

grant: thanks bro! that'd be awesome. and once i sort out the issue on mine, the dead man special should be a peice of cake.
