Default Street 750 LED turn signals

LED's turn signal bulbs much better 750 Street. No load equalizer needed, no madder what anyone tells you.

I installed LED front turn signals on my 2011 Iron. I purchased them on ebay for £27.49 the pair, they're nice and bright and have metal bodies just like the stock H-D signals.

Street and Iron toatlly different. The 2015 Street is CANBUS. and the signal are a different mount and shape. The Replacement bulbs work well for a easy affordable move to LED's. It would be great id the CD like those on the Iron would work. But they won't with out replacing everything.
The Iron is a cool bike for sure.

The 2014 - up Sportster's are CANBUS too, my 2011 Iron is a pre-CANBUS model so it's easy to fit aftermarket LED turn signals. The stock rear turn signals on my UK spec Iron are the 3 in 1 LED type with tail, brake and turn signal lights in one sealed unit.

The CANBUS is easier really. But when it comes to the Street the turn signal a re completely different in shape and mounts.

According to Harley Forums UK members, CANBUS fitted to late model Sportster's makes it difficult to install any non genuine H-D turn signals, i.e. those sourced from the Far East, China, Taiwan etc.

I'd presumed the XG500 & XG750 Street models would have the same problem with their CANBUS.

Th XG500/750 is a Harley in Name only. Yes after market to splice anything in can be a problem with CANBUS on any bike.
LED conversion on a CAN BUS do not normally need any load equalizer as the CAN BUS system learns and corrects.
The CD and HD LED mix I have on my 2017 RGU worked just fine

Thanks for that information Smitty901

Is it true that the Street models are all metric?

I believe that the engine was developed by Porsche in Germany, as was the V-Rod power unit. That would explain the metric dimensions.

I like the "Street Rod 750", H-D have done a great job in upgrading the styling and power output on it.

I purchased the 750 Street mainly for my Granddaughter . At 19 she wants to start riding her own. I was given a very good deal on it so rode it home. She is still recovering from a medical issue but should be ready to ride soon.
The bike is being prepared to fit her needs now. If she finds riding is not for her then I will go in a different direction with it latter.
The bike as is is set up to be a starter bike. It will run.

The XG500 / XG750 Street models are ideal for novices to hone their riding skills.

Over here in the UK a 750cc machine is classed as a big bike, learners here are restricted to a 125cc machine. When I started riding in the 1970's learners were restricted to a maximum 250cc. I passed my motorcycle test in 1980 on a 1979 Honda CB250N 'Superdream', I then traded the Honda in against a 1977 Triumph TR7RV 'Tiger 750'.

I was riding a real bike at long last and I felt like I was king of the road. In 1981 I traded the 'Tiger' in for a brand new Triumph T140E 'Bonneville 750', a USA export model with high rise bars and small 'tear drop' fuel tank. It cost me the princely sum of £1896. Happy days.
