I have the Kuryakin (sp? I'm too lazy to look it up today) laydown clear/smoked lense housing. No, it's not LED - but, it has the goofy iridescent (again, sp?) bulb and it's bright as heck. Of course, the lense/light is clear when it's not being used/turned off. Love the look it gave me and it was only $65 out the door.

A few questions for anyone with answers:

1. Does the SG version fit with the Kuryakyn curved license frame?

2. Does it work with the Kuryakyn run-stop-turn module that has a built-in load equalizer (#4859)?

Does this answer your question? HD LED tail light and Kury curved frame.

Looks to me like it works. That's one out of two, so I now must know if it work with the module?

Did any of you who installed the Harley LED tailight really remove the seat and main fuse ? How can changing the tailight possibly cause the bike to start (as warned in the instruction sheet)?

Nope i didnt. I also just installed a front and rear fender led light with smoked lenses. What a difference on the back end with 2 led's. And now the back fender light is a brake light also!

I just installed the Harley LED tailight on my 2008 SG. I am getting a slight high pitched squeal on AM radio when the brakes are applied. Only on AM... FM is fine. Has anybody else noticed this? Asked at dealer service dept. but they have not heard of it.

tail lite http://www.customdynamics.com/street...taillights.htm

turn signal http://www.customdynamics.com/harley...gnal_retro.htm

well worth the money IMO.
Same thing here, the front turn signals are on 100% illumination, bright as heck, you can't look directly into them,the tail light, the same thing, money well spent...
