    currently running an edge 2.
    its not bright enough imo, so im either going to change the resistor for a brighter brake light, or try the drc bolt on brake lights and a custom mount. after looking at my subframe, and current rack, i have an idea.

    the edge light is VERY waterlogged. its full of mud and dirt, and internally rusting from off-road use. i realize i can fix that, but why not make a license plate, tail light holder that also doubles as a storage box? make it the width of the subframe but water resistant/proof so you could tuck it all up under the fender and have papers/tools in it. is there a reason no one makes one?

    nothing huge, say 2 inches high, 4 inches wide and 10 inches long?

    aluminum, if i can pick up a reasonable spool gun or tig machine. ive got a sheetmetal brake....

    maybe thin steel..... i mean its not going to have to be thick.....
