Default Anyone have Custom Dynamics LEDs

Just got rear ended on Saturday just I was starting out from a red light.Saw the old man in my mirrors and flashed the brake light. Got hit anyway!!! . Saw a bike in the dealership with Custom Dynamics brake, turn and run lights all on and strobing. Seems like a real attention getter. Just wonder if anyone has experience using them. I WANT TO BE SEEN!!!

Never heard anyone say anything negative about CD.

I have H-D LED's, but I use a CD brake flasher for an attention getter, and it works fine.

Lets just say they are real bright, I said to my wife to ride closer along a back road as I have a LED headlamp and would help her see the road ahead. Well she still kept hanging back, when we got to our destination I questioned her about it and she said, 'Your damn rear lights are so bright I cant see, they blind me!' nuff said!
I run a CD rear light and turn signals, best $$ I spent

My first mod job was to add r/s/t LEDs from CD. They are blinding when you look straight into them and that's the front ones. The brake lights are even brighter when applied. All 4 lights and my choice of lenses. Excellent company and great customer service.

Put Custom Dynamics Dynamic Ringz on the front and there regular LED conversion on the back. Love them and have been told by multiple other riders that they are highly visible.

If you have a 2014 they are direct "plug and play" with no load equalizer needed due to 2014's having an onboard BCM.

Customer service is great and their prices are cheaper than Harley.

Recently bought a 14 SGS. I have some leds sitting on my coffee table as I type, waiting to be installed. Great stuff. I won't own a bike without them.

Just to add, last week I noticed one of my front units had some bulbs out. So I wrote to them about it. They just e-mailed me and are replacing it for free. And I've had them over a year, if there's a warranty period.

It was the first mod I did on my 2013 flhx. I plan on installing plasma rods this weekend as well. I was rear ended several years ago on my road king so the more light the better
