Your bike is very sharp. I like the way you use circular design throughout the components; they all tie together well.

Ditch the stock rear bullet turn signals from my 883, installed the LED combo tail light, and the curved license plate LED frame. Everything works perfect, only issue o have is with the turn signals indicator, they're hyper-flashing.

tried the reset method with the hazard lights from 30 seconds to even 10 minutes, and its still doing that.

for the headlight, i replaced the hood/bracket with the joker machine bracket.

Danxtian, what year is your bike? Only from 2014 on is the BCM able to "learn" what indicators are installed.

How did you perform the "reset method"?

HD's instructions from an LED kit

BCM Programming Process
See service manual. Follow procedure for clearing BCM codes.
Program the BCM. The BCM can self-learn if LED turn signals are installed when the Hazards are active after the LED installation. Activate hazards for at least 20 seconds (or to a count of 12 flashes). After 12 flashes of the Hazards the setting is updated in the BCM.
Turn the ignition key switch to IGNITION, but do not start the vehicle. Test lights and verify turn, brake and run lights operate as expected.

From elsewhere

Turn Ignition on, but do not start the bike.
Turn on 4 way hazards by pressing the hazard button on the controls
Turn the Ignition off letting hazards run. IF the bike has security they will flash 5 or 6 times and then pause. This is normal. They will go back to flashing normal hazard mode.
Let hazards run 1-2 minutes.
Turn Ignition back on.
Turn Ignition off and then back on.
Check function of both turn signals.

Works similar on baggers as well.

That rear light unit would be deemed illegal here in the UK, the law here dictates that rear turn signals on solo motorcycles must be spaced no closer than 180mm (just over 7") apart from each other.

It's a neat clean looking unit.

Personally, I like bigger lights on the rear. No way do I want some yahoo slamming into me because he couldn't see my tail lights. My brother almost died many years ago because he modded his tail lights on his triump. Sure enough was rear ended on the freeway at high speed, while on a test run, no less.
