Harley sells a module that'll turn your turn signals into running/break lights. Not sure about your particular model, but check it out.

theres also Kuryaykyn that will pulse your turnsigs and brakelights when braking. I would go with this one over the HD one if I had to do over again.

I have the Kuryakyn LED brake light, but it is pretty dim. If you want to be seen, get Radiantz LED's in your signals with the run/brake module. You can order this stuff from biketronics.com; they are pretty good to deal with.

Hi boone,
I changed my turn signals to a "duel element" setup. This allows the bulbs to be lit all the time increasing visibility. I also mounted a bullet light off the swingarm and wired it to the closest hot wire and ran a ground wire as well. I now have % light back there all lit including my rear fender tip light. I also made every one-even the bullet-a blue dot which gives off a kind of purple glow which draws attention to the bike. Hope this help open your mind up to more ideas. I have also see swingarm tip lights available. Good luck!!
