I've been trying to figure out a way to supplement the rear turn signals. Even if the integrated lights in the kit pass inspection, I'd rather have something further from center.
The bar-end signals I'll use face front and rear, but I think they might be at least partially blocked by my arms or torso.
If the license plate didn't need to be nearly horizontal, I could use a frame with built-in signals.
I could make one of those brackets that bolts on the back of the license plate to hold any sort of aftermarket signals, but the trick is to do it in a way that hides all the bolts and wires, since you'll see the bottom of the plate pretty much edge on.
It would be cool if I had the engineering and fab skills to make signals that tucked under the tail but flipped down and outward when needed.
I've thought about molding LED strips along the bottom of the tail, or even cutting channels so they could be molded flush. Or maybe the same general idea along the back edge of the side covers.
I don't know. I'm leaning toward mounting small super bright lights to the bottom back edge of the seat pan, or the battery box, or somewhere in the general area. I'll be able to figure out more once I get the frame back and I can start putting things together.
