Default Brighter tail lights street glide

Everyone knows how dim the tail lights are on the newer Street Glides, dangerous. What are the best options to be seen. Really like the idea of brake light flashers, but what kind. My 2009 had the Bad *** Light, it was great. I wish I had that light back.

$45 Break light flasher. Just plug it in and go.

You could also add a few lights if you find something you like.

I have a "Back-Off" brake flasher unit on my 09 SERG and it works really well. My suggestion would be to put some fillers between your saddle bags and fender and install either LED strips or plasma's rods that would get peoples attention.

Have you thought about incorporating led's? Custom dynamics makes some great stuff and are super bright

Many of us have gone the CVO fender route, but it's pricey.

I went with Custom Dynamics too, best thing I have done to my bike. Nothing but LEDs front and rear.

Plus 1 for Custom Dynamics. They've got all kinds of LED lights.

I put the run/turn/stop LEDs on my Blackline and it makes a difference. They are BRIGHT! I see drivers stopping a lot farther back than before. Worth the $140.

BAL tail light has bright *** tail light and brake light, 10 minutes to install and last a life time. You can adjust it also. American made. Just replaces your stock tail light .
