My ride: 2014 HD Heritage Classic

I already have a BAL light as my rear tail/brake light, but I also wanted to do a conversion that others on the forum have done: That is, convert stock amber signals to red running, braking, signaling lights. Harley Davidson to the rescue!

Harley sell the kit:
Auxiliary Brake Light/Running Light/Turn Signal Conversion Kit-69461-06D
Part Number 69461-06D
$69.95

I have installed this kit, and let me tell you--for $69 it's a safety investment you may want to seriously consider. With now three red lights on my rear, I am more visible. And, with my BAL (Bright *** Strobe light), cagers stay respectfully to a safer distance. Of course, nothing can be done about careless drivers who text, drink, and/or phone while driving. But, I feel more lights enhance visibility, especially to my six. Also, lights are brighter than before.

The install is easier than anticipated and Harley helps out quite a bit by labeling wires and harnesses. Simply located the rear light harness, disconnect it, and install the conversion kit--it's that simple, folks. Now my tail lights (rear signals) are red, always on when the motorcycle is running, and flash as a brake light when I apply the pedal or lever.

I highly recommend this safety upgrade.

 

are the signal lights synced to the BAL when the brakes are applied or are they just on solid? TIA.

 

I did the all on red conversion 3 years ago. Now if I'm stopped to make a left turn or stopped at a light there is no reason for anyone run into the back of me unless they are texting or on the phone. They are super bright!

 

I been looking at these,, now I'm sold. Thx

 

I have been converting to all red since the plug-in became available. They should come this way,much safer.

 

This was the first mod I did on my bike. Super Easy.

 

I do this mod first thing every time I get a new bike. Also do the Bright *** Light. Love this mod and money well spent......

 

on solid...just the BAL flashes....

 

Since everyone is concerned with "more light" on the rear of the bike, yes, I agree. Converting the turn signals to run/brake/turn signals does help.

Just an FYI:

You can take it one step further by converting your incandescent turn signals to LED turn signals. It does cost more ($179 for HD) but you get more light. The cost offset is that the HD LED turn signals, when wired per instructions, function as run/brake/turn signals. Therefore, there is no need for the $70 conversion kit.

 

I got the dealer to included this mod in the deal when I bought the bike. I have also had it on my other bikes and yes it is a good safety feature. Now add an LED bulb and they will for sure see ya. Last night coming home the wife was following me about a 1/2 mile or better behind. She said she could see me clearly and there was no doubt that there was vehicle ahead.
