Yes, I do. I have the badland run/turn/brake/eq module. You might take advantage of 3 brake lights as well.

Perfect! I,ve been afraid of load eq's because i read they got hot. These claim not to, is that true. What brand of tail light do you have, I was thinking of a drag specialties till I saw these. Thanks for your help.

Whatever you choose, don't buy biketronic. I have the eq and brake module, blown 3 of them in one year, even it is under warranty, I wasn't happy. Switched to badland, never had problem, it doesn't get hot. The taillight is D2moto, cheap $39. They jack up the price $79 but you can find some on ebay for $40-50, same light. Brake/turn Leds are radiantz red 1156, super bright $49pair ebay.

Saddleline

Know this is an old thread, but wondering how the saddleline bags held up over time? Anyone have long term experience with them?

What bar did you use for the turn signals? Does it fit the contour of the fender good? I want to do this to my FXD. I have Switchback bags on them. They are quick detach except for the bottom back bar. I need a 3/8 wrench to take a bolt out. Then the bags come right off.

The leather quality is good but the mounting brackets looked rusty when I got them. Cheap finishing! No big deal, I sand them and paint, look as good. I use Cycylevisions bareback system, on and off in one minute. The down side is bareback doesn't have a lock, who cares? Now I can be a Bagger or a mean Dyna, best of both worlds. LOL
