Default Brake Light Options/Suggestions

I have a 19 RGS that I have already upgrade the turns with CD Bullet Ringz, however I have never really paid much attention in the dark to what the *** of my bike actually looks like. This fine dark Michigan morning finally gave me the opportunity and much to my dismay the *** of my bike looks like it has a big red smiley face with the red turns and the 3 red bars on the bottom!

That said, modding season is almost here and I would love some suggestions/inspirational pics of what some of you guys have done with your RG's to give me some ideas on how not to make the *** of mine look like a clown in the dark. Thanks in advance everyone!

Saw that as well, have already looked at the CD options. But was curious what other vendors or configurations others were running besides CD

Check out the Custom Dynamics website. I bought a new '13 RGC and was disappointed in the **** poor rear lighting. At that time CD had recently come out with a new add on tail light for the RG and SG models that just had the two small round red lights--one on each side of the rear fender. I bought the CD all LED tail light and it really makes a big difference. Looks like it came from the factory. Watched the CD installation video a couple of times and didn't have any problems, it is plug & play. Check it out!

ABTW, the Canadian RG and SG bikes have a center tail light. Guess Canada's safety standards are a little tougher than they are here.

First mod I would do would be a BAL taillight.

So far, I've not seen any add-on lights that I like. The bag/lid lights all look tacky to me.

Can't say I ever thought about the rear lighting looking like a face either. That said, I have a tour-pak with Harley's LED wrap around kit.

Street Glide, pal. Non option.

Leaning towards this Ciro replacement.... The RGS doesn't have a square center taillight, just the 3 bars on the bottom and the two turns on top which make it look so goofy. This looks like a solid way to eliminate the smiley face look.

When I had my 17 SGS I looked at the ciro latitude and CD dynamic rings. Checked them both out in person at a rally. The ciro is cool looking and different from what most have (CD's) but in the end I went with the dynamic rings, to me they were brighter than the ciro and much cheaper. Both companies make add on bag lights as well, the ciro bag blade is sleek and cool looking, the CD bag light is bigger and brighter so I guess it comes down to if you are in it for looks or making the rear ad visible as possible.
