Recommended Solution for Bike Rack that Is Covering Taillights
Question:

The Lets Go Aero LED Light Kit for GearCage4 and BigBoss Railed Cargo Carriers # H01540 isn't designed to be used on bike racks so you're correct it wouldn't work very well since it's made for cargo carriers.
Since your bike is so large, and the options for taillight reroute kits are slim, I'd recommend going with a simple magnetic kit like the Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights - 20' Wiring Harness with 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # TL21RK.
This kit will plug into an existing 4-way trailer connector and would effectively provide all the necessary lighting you'd need. The best part is, there is no modifying your drilling needed, you'd simply plug in and stick the lights to your roof (or somewhere else that's visible) via the magnetic base and you're all set.
When you're done, unplug and remove the lights and you'll be good to go.
