I have a 2009 R3 Tourer. Has anyone modified the rear lights to make the bike more visible

Great question and I am interested to learn of options to improve visibility from the rear.
I have a pair of Hyperlites to mount very soon at each side of the taillight. They can be programmed to do different things and are VERY bright. The police motors around here use them as well.

You can't go wrong with this or others like it: http://kisantech.com/mag/tailblazer.html
An LED strip that's run along the bottom lip of the rear fender is pretty trick with a RTB controller, used as tail, brake and directionals. Something you can do yourself and can be found here: http://www.customdynamics.com/motorcycle_lights.htm#Motorcycle LED Tail Lights

Welcome Thump. Contact Mike at Rodworx Lakeland, FL. I put 39 Ford flush mount LED. I wired them to work as running and brake lights.
Very Visible. I also got several red and amber of the mini markers for side lights.

I need some more rear lighting on my Tourer as well since I come home from work at midnight. My Venture had about 80 LED lights wired as a run/brake light. Im just thinking maybe a 10" strip under the rear fender, attached to the cross bar.
