Instead of relocating the turn signals I'm going to get rid of them and use the Panacea tailight. Based on the instructions it looks easy to install but I wanted to see if anyone had any tips. Is the plug in for the load equalizer etc... right under the seat?

I haven't installed mine yet, just got it last week and been riding too much. Though the instructions look easy enough. Will post any tips once I get them installed if I have any.

it is very simple. shouldn't take more than 20 minutes. my only recommendation would be to remove the battery and battery compartment for easier access to the wiring harness.

It is a very simple install, but when they say don't use the hazards with the load equalizer they mean it. Hit mine accidentally then smelled burning electronics. Nothing in the blinker system worked right after that until I removed the load equalizer.

Blacked Out, that is the light I used. Only issue I see is it gets a lot of moisture in the unit.

Here is some pics of the Panacea, along with Alloy Art Strut Lights. I also have the Progressive Suspension Shock Lights, I just don't have a pic of them installed.

Jake, where did you get those shock lights from? I know that progressive has them, but did you order them straight from them??

Additionally, I would recommend some dielectric grease in the tail light plugs!

Yes, the dealership ordered them from Progressive. I went with the Strut & Shock lights for added visibility. They are so subtle, that you don't realize they are there until they're activated. Once you remove those stock turn signals, you greatly reduce that visibility from the rear.

Jake,
Can you post a pic from the rear with the shock lights on? I am not sure if you are back stateside or what.

Those lights/turnsignals are not that bright.Don't count on being seen by cagers.Have someone ride your bike,get in a car and follow with a 60 year old passenger in the car with you.Try this in the day and again at night.Be honest with yourself and then ask your passenger if he/she can see the light(s).later,rob

Sorry Greg, I won't be stateside until another 3 weeks. Once I pick it up and get some time, I'll be sure to post the pics.

When I was home on my last vacation, I was fortunate to meet forumn member Chipstah. He followed me in his truck to get some lunch and told me that the Alloy Art Strught Lights are very bright. I added the Shock Lights for even more visibility.

I hadn't been considering a panacea taillight until I was honest with myself about the fact that being married, I'll eventually need detachable saddlebags...and of course that means the sidemounted taillights will need to go.

I don't like the idea of relocating them over the taillight...that look just doesn't do it for me. At the same time, I'm not sure the panacea is sufficient to prevent me from getting plowed by an unobservant bagger...would those strut mounted LED's like Jake has peek out enough from behind a saddlebag that they'd still be visible? As with most things, there might not be a perfect solution here...

EDIT: Hold that thought, just found these on the Kuryakyn website..never noticed them before. The specs say they're for "msost" Dynas up to '05, but I'd think they could be tweaked to work? Is anyone familiar with them? The only two requirements here would be that they're small enough for the detachable sissy side plates to still be usable, and also not get in the way of strut mounted bags.

It was hard to tell from that pic...figures they don't look good once you get a better look at them. I like how discrete the ones are like Jake got, just unsure of the brightness of them, especially once the bike's been bagged. I imagine they'd probably be fine paired with the panacea.
