One thing I noticed about the Victory was the lack of rear lighting. I like the bike to be seen by those following me. I added additional brakelights to the Goldwing and I decided to do something similar with the Victory.
![]() ![]() I used the same LED flasher I used on the Goldwing spoiler brakelight. Is is $5 from Superbrightleds.com. It took longer to decide on an LED light to use for the auxiliary brakelights. I had decided to put it where the reflector is above the license plate. I eventually found these LB01 lights from Custom Dynamics. Two of these would fit almost perfectly.
![]() The reflector popped off easily but it took a couple applications of Goo Gone to remove all the adhesive.
I drilled holes to match the wiring outlets on the lights.
The lights are mounted. They come with 3M adhesive backing.

![]() My initial thought was to run the wiring down to the brakelight and tap into the wiring there. However, the more I looked at it it looked like I would have to take off the fender to access the mounting bolts for the lights and brackets. Then there would have to be a hole drilled in the fender somewhere. I decided to run the wires under the seat. This was simpler and less destructive.
The wiring snaked under the seat...
...to the connector where I spliced the wiring. Here are the new lights in action.
