Red...My 2012 is in for 5K mile service or I would take a pic. I also used red on my Night Train, actually replaced yellow turn signals with red LED's and lenses. Personally I prefer reds and yellow lights v smoked lenses however I must say that the back end of the bike baseman1 posted looks pretty awesome!
On my red FLD I went smoked for all the lights. I have the CD lights that are red on the outside for run/brake, and amber inside for turn. It's a good look, especially since I don't care for red turn signals.
On my '15 Ultra I am staying with red.

Smoke here. I didn't want any colors taking away from my paint.
I rewired things on the rear end to accommodate the LED tri-bar in the fascia. My turns are turn/brake Custom Dynamics. My tail light and tri-bar are factory HD LED options. Both are run/brake. When I use the brakes, there are 4 nice bright sources of bright red brake light showing. A compromise of form and function.

Big Blue pearl and Vivid Black. I'm prolly going to go smoke because my HD LED tail light is smoke and dont wanna spend another $159 for a red one. My dealer is having 20% in Jan and then I'll do the tour pack with LEDs.

I want my rear lights to be the expected color for other drivers...so red.
I have a BAL so a flash then steady and much brighter than stock ( DOT)...I use the HD run/turn/brake kit & I added some blue leds in the fender tip light for a blue dot effect.
