Any ideas on the best lights to add to the back of 2021 trike. The stock look only has the two lights low down..not a good look for night riding.

Anything that fits and looks good and is LED.
RoadSmith Back Lights
To increase visibility, switch from incandescent bulbs to red LEDs. $19 for set of four on Amazon. Also changed from Showchrome light to Honda OEM trunk lights, as the all-red lenses are a better match to the Kuryakyn lights.
I ordered my trike with the bumper light inserts instead of reflectors (Kuryakyn saddlebag marker lights are a perfect fit and have run/brake/turn functionality).
Added the Kuryakyn trunk light this summer when it became available (same run/brake/turn functionality as the bumper light inserts).
Looks awesome at night! You should see what we did to the front, as well.

I have too agree with you, the more light(s) the better to be seen............... BUT don't over do it...... I like extra lights in front of the bike also...
Wearing very hi VIS yellow jacket also helps..... What ever you can do to be seen, sure does help keeping cars from jumping out in front of you/cause they didn't see you...

Totally agree Ronnie.
I guess I'm paranoid on lights cause I have two friends that have been rear-ended.
Wonder what happened to Marshall? Was hoping we could meetup.
