LED Lights
Just bought a Sportster 48 in London. This is not the US so ... safety while riding in the city is a big issue, ie. be seen by the Chelsea women driving around. Anyone would recommend LED lights (front and rear) ? Which ones? Thank you.

Kuryakyn man! I swaped my front/rear turn signals and taillight for their LEDs set and works awesome. Very bright in daylight especially while running their equalizer module that turns the turn the rear turn signals into brake/running lights.

A while back I swapped to smoked lenses and LED bulbs. At night Ive been very happy with them at night because they're plenty bright. However during the day Ive been less than impressed with them. Reason being is that because of the way LED bulbs are made no light hits the inside of the housing therefore no light is reflected/refracted outward. So instead of the bulb lighting the entire housing you just have a little, small 1" bright spot. Im currently looking for red incandecent bulbs to switch the rear back. Ive already ditched the orange LEDs up front for orange incandecent bulbs.
You can sort of see what Im talking about here about the small 1" bright spot. Basically just the bulb lights up, not the entire housing.
