Did any of you install a load equalizer for any of the lights that you upgraded?

I didnt have to use a load equalizer. The 2018 has a load equalizer built it. It was just plug and play.

You use the stock bullet signal. They are added as a replacement by removing the lense.

I needed nothing extra in the circuit on the 2017 Sporty or the 115th Fatty. The Custom Dynamics lights work great on both. I tried two of the less expensive Amazon LED headlights on the Sportster. They were much improved over stock, but they tripped the bike's red charging system light. In contrast, I haven't experienced this issue with the Custom Dynamics headlight on the Sporty.

On the older bikes, you need the load equalizer. Think anything prior to 2013 models.

I have a set of the Custom Dynamics LED bulbs for sale if anyone is interested. Mine go behind the stock lens, not replace it. Fits any model with 1157 bulbs and the dual bullet style lamps. Like new. $50 shipped in lower 48.

The taillight...

Amazon

The triple play converter...

Amazon

The triple play is very cool as you have 10 different settings for the rear brake/taillights flashing pattern. I set it to 4 rapid flashes before it goes solid.

The Smart Triple Play a plug-and-play module added to bikes with a center taillight and signals that are turn-only. Here's a link to all the variants we offer. As soldierbot was saying, you can pick from 10 different strobe patterns and have all your rear lights flash when you hit the brakes.

Thank you very much Custom Dynamics!! I really appreciate the kind words!! I have to say I love these tail lights! They are very bright, made extremely well and definitely look great!! Whenever I buy something for the bike it never really impresses my wife but these definitely made an impression. She was saying how much better she feels with the brightest of these lights. She said they make her feel better when I’m out for a ride (more visible) Happy wife....Happy life!!! Thanks again 👍
