I had considered getting one, but I need the smoked laydown version like the original poster has. That one goes for $250. The stock model one goes for $200. If I could find the laydown one for somewhere around the $200, I might spring for it, but $50 extra is more than I'm willing to pay.

I bought a BAL-1 for my ultra three weeks ago. I considered a BAL-2 which is much brighter. I didn't because I thought it would be too bright and annoying when riding with my club. I like bright and annoying it's just that I don't want to do that to my friends.
The comments I got are all the same. "That's the brightest tail light I've ever seen." I have also experienced a greater interval between me and the car behind me at stop lights and I like that a lot.
Part of the reason it's so expensive has to be the fact that BAL purchases the base and lense from HD and manufactures the LED and electronic module. It is truly plug and play.
I would do it again in a heartbeat.

i am using the harley module for the taillight/turn signal thing. and am quite happy with it. it's not nearly as bright as what i hear the led system is, but for 57 bucks, it gives me a whole lot more illumination on the rear of the bike. if ya can't spring the 200+ bucks for the led systems, the harley turn signal module which comes with the red turn signal lenses is a huge improvement over just the one taillight. each of my friends i ride with, are now using them after seeing how much brighter my bike is.
The Street Glide has the license plate light built in to the signal bar. You want one with no tag light.

The actual turn signal bar is not stock is it? I hate the flat bar looking thing on my '09 EG.
