Default I'm Gonna Get These

I saw these new items in an HD accessories catalog I got at the house this week. I think they are just pretty cool. About $70 for the set.

My Standard has a bobtail fender so it shouldn't be too bad. Looks like there is an adapter plug so the new lights plug right into the back of the brake light plug.

They will look real nice and help to clean up the back end.

So, I bought these lights and installed them last night. Sorry, I don't have any pictures but the actually look pretty cool and they make the back of the bike more visible. They are LED so they are pretty bright. They light up all the time and get slightly brighter when the brakes are applied.

They weren't terribly hard to install. It took about an hour and a half. With my Standard, I had to take off the saddlebags, remove the fender brackets and cut and resplice the turn signal wires. Nice thing is, the lights just plugged into the back of the tail light bracket in an accessory plug.

Those look really good. Didn't see them in the catalog but I have a Road Glide anyway. My glide came the running lights built into my turn signal bracket. This is in the catalog too.
