After hearing from Grambo from Tennessee
about a red LED light he got from a truck stop, I made the point
of looking for these lights while down driving through TN. At a
Pilot Travel Center I found what would fit the bill. For a cost of
about $14 and some time working on a mounting bracket, I now have my
fifth brake light installed on my Vulcan 750. The F&S 1st Gen.
luggage rack had a relocation tab for the reflector that worked great as
a mount for my light.
I am looking for suggestions on what to do with the positive wire that
is running to the trunk. For a negative, I used the luggage rack
itself as it is well grounded.
The LED is hooked up to the brake light and is not on during normal
running. |

Brakes on and light everywhere!!! |
I decided to keep the reflector in it's original place for looks. |
Top View... Hate that wire... |
I had to modify the mounting tab and create a back plate to hold the
whole assembly in place. |
