Well -  As a certified all-around newbie I posted a bunch of photos on BikePics.com in the Suzuki Savege ... list? ... group? I don't know how images are arranged and I uploaded these as Personal thinking they would be together on My Page. I also started this post without copying the link so, for now anyways, potential viewers will have to look them up.

Anyhow, they show the rack I'm working on and the LED light that indicates driving lights are on. The rack is a work in progress. Once mounted it looked ... all like, too square Dude. Rack #2 will have more curve toward the seat back. I wanted plenty of surface for stacking stuff when needed. I do like the chrome plated bungie cord hook nuts things. I'll wait and see what this rack looks like when it's painted. If the gloss black helps it look less goofy I'll stay with it awhile.

Don't have a way to mount my turn signals yet, but am noodling some ideas that don't require cutting up OEM's. Found some nifty 2 LED yellow marker lights that are rectangular and look like they'll work. There are also some single LEDs that are round But I lean heavily on the more light the better side of things.

I like those round LED brake lights as seen on tractor trailers and like the placement of the OEM tail/brake light so I'm trying to figure out a suitable sheet metal bracket that won't look too bulky. Although I keep returning to the side mount bracket too.

Also noodling a seat pan for a deep solo-seat and low riding position.

I've made the EdL forward control brace and attached a LOUD horn via welded tab. Haven't wired it up yet. Was sitting in driveway yesterday looking through my electrical stuff toolbox and pulling out wire scraps and many incorrect fittings and seriously considering cutting and soldering wires together. I was tired, dirty, sweaty, and had that metal grinder crap all over me. Realized I was in that twighlight zone where poor decisions are made.

Put everything away. Went in the house and took a shower. Will get proper wiring material and fasteners soon. Will make up turn signal fasteners soon. Will be back on the road soon. Do like that AC in my wee truck cage on these hot afternoon trips home. View ain't nearly so good though. Ride ain't nearly so fun.

Rack looks nice.  An idea for you, adding a remove-able back rest with it could be handy on a long trip.  

The light looks like one of those tach shift indicators. Can you see it during the day time??

Light shows up nice, even in full daylight. Setting it into the aluminum tubing and adjusting the angle of that seems to do the trick. The tubing can be cut with a slant to have a small eyebrow kind of thing.
