What the best/easiest/cheapest way to add more light to the back of my Vol? I need to make the bike more visible from the back when riding early in the morning.

I'm quite happy with the LED replacement reflector from Electrical Connection:

There's a pic in my gallery if you'd like to see it. It adds a lot of extra light back there when it's dark.

One is a LED reflector that looks like the original rectangular red reflector under your tail light, but is lit up with a bunch of bright LEDs - about $40 and easy to install. Anything LED is usually good and not too expensive.

Thank you John, you hit "Enter" faster than me :lol:

Another option would be add attache a light to the back of your saddlebags.

That is, if you have saddlebags. :roll:

When I go in early, or it is foggy, I wear a Hi-Viz vest over my jacket.

Thanks for the help guys. I definitely like the price of those LED's!

I put red reflective tape on the back of my helmet and some on the back of my riding jacket.

One thing I did to be noticed by drivers behind me is install a brake light modulator. The one I chose is called Back Off and is a simple 2 wire hookup under the seat. It flashes the brake light 3 times and then on for 3 seconds and then repeats the pattern for as long as you have the brakes applied. I have seen it for about $29.00 plus shipping. It is a nice safety feature. It splices into the brake light power wire. Here is one vendor that sells them

The XP version works w/ all lights. LED or filiment.

http://www.streetglo.net/ sells reflective tape he is a member here and has his Vol in some of the photos. I think he gives a 10% discount to members

I also put a LED strip (6 or 8 leds) on the back side of my sissy bar on my VOL I bought it at an autoparts store for about $8.
