OF COARSE IT WAS HARD TO SEE DUMBASS, YOUR RIDEING THE BIKE AND
THE TAIL LIGHT IS BEHIND YOU UNDER THE FENDER IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU
TO SEE IT UNLESS YOUR STRETCH...:happy2::happy2:
i've got the cruisercustomizing.com version. it's LED instead of a bulb, and if you're running it w/ no lowering kit and no fork extensions, then it's not too bad. i added additional lighting back there for brakes (leds on the plate facing up, and leds under the plate to light up the tire on braking), because i've lowered my ass and installed fork extensions.
i'd say that if you're gonna run any kinda undertail cateye, you'll def want some kinda aux lighting. especially if you've modified your frame angle.

I've got the same one as quam an I modded it by adding stand-off's to bring the LEDS closer to the Lens but as he said add some additional lighting like a side mount with brake light don't give the cagers an excuse why they didn't see you :freak:
