Well, I got all the LED lights and the electronic blinker module installed. I ordered the same tail/brake light as az_slynch. Yeah, it's *that* bright.

The rear blinkers are essentially the same light, but in amber and with a different base... they're insanely bright, too. Even with the sun shining directly on the rear of the bike at the end of the day, the lights are easily seen.

I was showing my wife the bike today... I turned on the ignition switch, she was standing near the rear of the bike. She said, "Oh that's so bright!"... then I hit the brakes, and she jumped. LOL

The combination of that ultrabright LED and the brakelight flasher really makes it conspicuous.

I just did this and it's a pain in the ass for sure.

After you remove those 4 screws the lens has to be pulled backwards but has a ton of tension on it.
I remove the rear fender and rested my foot on the tire with my shoulder on the rear rack.
Then I can safely tug rewards on the lens w/o the Yager failing backwards off the center or side stand.

I first pushed on the lens in various directions to attempt and break the tension in the seal.
I then place a bare hand on each side and with skin tension was able to hold the lens, wiggle it and final get it to break loose.

Now the fun part. The way the lens slides in and out, it binds hard on the center piece of the rear body shell (which can't be removed as is). It will pop and moan to get it out and scrap hard on the body plastic. Putting it back in is the same grind and pop frustration but it works and you will loose some body paint. It looks like the engineers never thought about maintaining  a light bulb and was assy all in place with the body work.

You will see were a slight grind on the body work will be beneficial for future use.
