What do you have for your taillight? I didn't mount the bell, because it is gold color, and i want better access to the LCD buttons.

I ordered some lights off of Amazon
4.5 out of 5 stars 1,849Reviews
Ascher USB Rechargeable Bike Light Set
And my Helmet also has a rear light as well. Gold and black goes good together and works out ok on top of my throttle..

Flashing lights are not a bad idea... I like to supplement the always-on OEM integrated lights.

I'm running a new HyperShot on the back but have a few different lights that will fit the mount, so I can keep a backup handy, and also have a cheaper seat post rear light, and run a Hotshot on the back of my helmet. I removed the included Juiced taillight/reflector because it ran on AAA batteries and I wanted to use USB rechargeable Li-Ion based lights. Have not mounted a rear reflector yet, but working on it. I would like to try retrofitting a good usb rechargeable light into the original Juiced rear light housing, so I hope to try that one day.
Up front I'm currently using a Flashlight mount for an extra wide beam neutral tint Zebra 700 for trails and unlighted streets. I'm waiting on the Fenix BC35R for my main light since I use a BC30 on my other bike and I like it. The Juice included light might be OK, it's fairly bright, but not a fan of the tint and I hate to waste potential motor energy on lights. Pics when I'm done.

Excellent choice.
The Cygolight Hypershot is a great rear light... very bright at 350 lumens with long run times.I also use this front light with dual 18650 rechargeable lithium batteries... super bright and long-running with a digital battery meter.

I have a Juiced rcs too and been looking to add more rear lighting since the star union isn't enough for me. What taillights are those on the sides? Can you provide a link to where you purchased them please?

The two outer ones are just reflectors. Keeps everything street legal, and good in case one forgets to turn on the light, or it dies.
