Default LED Tail light

Hi,

Has anyone installed that new led tail light with the smoked lens that Harley's come out with? If someone has is light bright through the smoked lens?

Thanks

Bob

Default HD led tailight

I put one on my bike (smoked lense) and yes it is brighter than the stock light. One of the guys riding behind me said it was quite an improvement over the stock light.

I have a HeavyCycle LED taillight on my Ducati and was planning to use their H-D model on my SG. Anyone have a view on how the HeavyCycle compares?

Yeah there nice and bright and safer as well instead of two filaments,rear and stop light either or both can go at any time without you knowing, if a led blows youve got plenty more to light up your rear.
