The taillight has been replaced by the PO. It's an LED replacement light kit and when you hit the breaks, it blinks about 3-4 times a second (fast enough I can't count), then stays red. The Xarc's I have set up for run/brake. I installed a 'blink module' on the brake lights, so it blinks 4 times in 2 seconds, then blinks 4 times in 4 seconds, then stays red. The contrast between the 2 brake light blink speed is very noticeable and gets your attention.
And as previously noted, the Xarc's are quite bright as is the replacement taillight running light(s).

What size is that rear patch TTE? 240 and the PO widened the rim so it would 'mount better'.

Not sure I will make it to Maggie. That is the rainy season here, ... don't want to get my scoot wet riding there. So would have to trailer it and I don't have a place to store a trailer.

It wont shrink if you get it wet lol I can vouch for this. Really, it only shrinks a little when cold. When wet, shrinkage has never been an issue!

Rent to get there, take it to rental, then pick up again, go home. I may look into this. My buddy has a trailer but may be too small

Well TTE, if you're still around. Your Bike was the inspiration for me to acquire one of my very own.

Kahn say it ain't so! You parting ways with your Mean Streak?? Or did ya add to the stable Never in a million years will they pry that Mean Streak out of my hands. I miss it badly right now until I can get some new tires on it. The redhead Meanie will be spending some quality time with Speed and emerge as my Showcase Bike. The Raider will be daily transportation. The stable has a new mate. I'll probably continue looking for a used Fatboy in great shape that isn't priced like it was carved from gold. Someday..... PS My Son is looking forward to riding that Mean Streak someday.
