The NRC fender eliminator and LED kit is very cool. Love the way it looks on mine!

I have the same unit on mine. Yes, it looks very cool. My only concern is visibility. The lamp is pretty well hidden. I'm afraid some idiot will rear-end me, but in truth I would have this concern regardless. I'll live with it.
 
I also have that concern regardless! But I had my wife follow me in our SUV one afternoon. Even in bright sun, she said she could clearly see my brake light no matter how close she was. So I feel OK about it!
 
FYI for anyone with the NRC rear LED kit, if you retain the stock front signals your 4-way flashers won't work. My turn signal flash rate (controlled by the ECU) was set to Type 2 when the NRC kit was installed, using the method mentioned elsewhere on this forum. It works great for slowing the signal flash rate back to stock, but I'm guessing the 4-ways use a separate circuit that ignores the 'Type 2' setting, and the different loads of filament bulbs in front and the LED rear cause a sync problem that makes the flashers shut down, which also shorts out my turn signals. Turning the key off and back on resets the system so turn signals work normally, but they short out as soon as I press the 4-way button.

Short-stem LED fronts from the UK are already on the way anyway, and they'll most likely solve this. But I've somehow managed to survive riding 27+ years without 4-way flashers on my bikes, so if they don't work, who cares?!
 
Update: Confirmed that my issue with 4-way flashers not working was caused by the NRC LED tail mixed with stock front signals. Mounted the Triumph short-stem LED fronts (from UK), and solved the issue. They also look great!

Had to post this shot from early morning on New Year's Day... A frosty 32 degrees, but a great ride. The bike runs like a beast in the dense, cold air.
