Found the final template.

The hole for the wiring is wrong, too big but was solely as a test to see if things were right in situ, i wasnt bothered about that hole as i was doing the final hole with a step drill and using the actual light unit to mark it, but the rest is spot on.

Here's my solution for the tailight on my '06 vmax.

My factory red reflector was replaced with one of Sean Moreleys LED brake/tailight conversions. I also installed rear LED turn signals that also have the brake/tailight function and a custom mounted liscense plate holder & frame with white LED light.

I bought some flexible LED strips from Radiantz and tag bolts from custom dynamics.

I removed the inner rear fender, made two aluminum brackets from some 1/8 x 3/4 stock to support the license plate.
The brackets attach to the two captive nuts under the fender.
Then I used some thin aluminum sheet as a backing plate and cut it to match the curve of the fender and bent it so it goes up under the fender.
I mounted my lights on the backing plate.

100 LEDs total in the tail light setup.
Two strips have 35 each and one has 30.
I wired in a dual element circuit from radiantz so it works with both running and brake lights.

I bought this replacement for the reflector on the grab bar from Gary Spradley. It uses the same LEDs from radiantz but, in a smoked housing instead of red.
