Not a bar but look into HyperLights (maybe lites). They will attach to the bar under your trunk with all the functions you're looking for. Amazon has good prices.

Led strips (flexible or not) of all kinds. But I think you ordinarily get run and brake, not turn.
While not as high, you can get a Back Off license plate frame with two rows of bright leds... run and brake.
There may be run brake and turn in some of those. I dunno.
I have a controller that makes my signals run, brake, AND turn (with red lenses) (just the 1156 bulbs, no leds). Together with the led plate frame run and brake.
And I added the tourer std tail light under the trunk in the knockout, run and brake of course. That light shows up very well since it is almost always in the shade under there, even with an 1157 bulb. But there's a fit problem (lens to radio) if you have the CB under there.
Keep in mind with led turn signals, you will need an electronic flasher (or else they blink very fast) (this looks wrong, but on the other hand it certainly is attention grabbing, which is the whole point). I would not use load equalizers in lieu of the electronic flasher (which get hot enough to cause trouble, and use as much power for leds, as if you were running std bulbs).

Try custom dynamics on the web. They have a lot of good lighting options. I run the large nightrider light in both my interstates. I like the moving lights to draw attention to the bike.

I think BonS is a dealer now for CustomDynamics products.

The Whelen looks like a great light bar. How did you fit it under the trunk? at 11 1/2" wide I can't see how it would fit?

I've been running the small night rider, it fits perfectly on the lower trunk support, has a flashing stop then turns solid, very bright and compact. Try custom dynamics on the web. They have a lot of good lighting options. I run the large nightrider light in both my interstates. I like the moving lights to draw attention to the bike.

Thanks SCain and Mr. Bubbles, I think I would like to go with the bigger 21 led light. As I was taking a look at the valk I looked at the side bars of the trunk and how do you think having these on them would work? I would like to have some side lights too.
