Those Ciro Bag Blades look like the CD TruFlex but cost a lot more. Used the truflex on TP and wired to r/t/b module thats already used for the light bar CD leds. Very bright and comes in different lengths and colors.
I’m a little annoyed. Got the plasma rods Friday and went to install them this morning after watching the video on their website.
On their video it showed sticking them to the side of the filler panel, but on mine the edge of the panel isn’t a right angle like their video shows, it’s curved with only about 1/8” of surface to stick them to. No way would they stay on.
Hard to see, but the edge is rolled and there’s just not enough surface to adhere them to. Unlike what they showed on their 14 Street Glide on the video.
So I couldn’t install. I’m pretty annoyed. Unless I can fab up some kind of bracket (which I shouldn’t have to since they spec these as a fit for my 16 RGS, they will get returned.
Not keen on drilling into the filler panel to mount their flatz either. So I guess Custom Dynamics May not be in my future. Looking at other options now...
Electra Glo Saddlebag Run/Brake/Turn lights, they will get cagers attention.
Come in chrome or black with smoked or red len @ $229.95 or less at a 20%
off dealer of your choice. I also added CD Ringz in front & CD Fillerz in rear
turn signals.
I'm going to fab up, or have made, a couple of sheet stainless brackets for the plasma rods, since I already have them. Shouldn't be too difficult, here's what I'm going to do/have done/ The grey lines are the outline of a piece of stainless sheet that i'll bolt to the struts and stick the plasma's to. Should work well.
Just to update, I’ve abandoned the Plasma Rods idea. Decided to go with the Custom Dynamics Flatz instead. Was originally going to install both the flatz and the Plasma Rods, but yesterday I decided not to wait on whatever solution I came up with for the Rods. So I installed the Flatz. They are so damn bright i’m not going to bother with the Plasma Rods.
Here they are - it's dark in the garage so they''re a little over exposed but they are plenty bright. Adds about 4-5 times the illumination vs. the bullets alone.
Thanks, but you're not following. The '16 RGS has no tail light. So a brighter tail light has no where to go.
I also already have the Custom Dynamics inserts which are great, but still only two dots off in the sunset for the absent minded cager.
I’m looking forward to the CD plasma rods and I’ll probably end up with the tri-bar as well.
Was hoping there was some other magic bullet for these visibility challenged bikes, but it looks like I’ve found most.
Don't sell the CD inserts/dynamic ringz short..They actually appear much larger from distance, due to the light output. they certainly don't look like 2 little dots. I have them in white on my front signals and from distance they look like 4" LED driving lights. My rear consists of the dynamic rings, the plug fillerz as running lights, the CD tri-bar, and the HD bag lights. My stops, tri-bar, and HD bag lights are hooked to the CD strobe module for braking. The rear of my bike is sick bright. Actually, more along the lines of blinding bright, if you ask those who have followed me in a car at night. If you hit me from the rear it's from being impaired, texting, or just being dumb....but it's NOT because you couldn't see me!
