Tailbones, run/stop/turn
Anyone running this from tailbones ? Tried the Harley run/stop/turn kit and IMHO they are nothing short of a hazard ! The contrast is terrible between the run and stop creating a bad saftey problem . Took them off and went back to my stop/turn only.
The MOCO had better make a change to these or someone is going to get run over[sm=outcold.gif]

Yup I got the Tailbones on my 06 RK Custom. I've had buddies riding behind me say that the running lights are bright and the brakes are alot brighter. Tailbones also has a built-in load equalizer if you wanna run LED lights. Got mine through www.mandmcycles.com for around $88 plus shipping.

I've got the Harley version and they seem fine to me. I've never had anyone mention anything while riding behind me for a while.
What do Tailbones do that's different or better?

RE: Tailbones, run/stop/turn
Harley's old system was pretty good, just turn/stop. Now that they've "improved" it and added the running lights, you can't really tell when the brakes are applied. And, it could be a danger if those behind you don't know that you're stopping.

RE: Tailbones, run/stop/turn
I have the old style HD brake/turn. I was about to buy the Kuryakyn when I read in the print in the instruction sheet that said you must "unplug the load equalizer prior to using the 4-way flashers. Failure to do so may cause extreme heat build-up and damage the motorcycle". I don't think I would necessarily remember to pull off my seat and unplug the load equalizer in the event I wanted to use my 4-way flashers. I think I will stick with what I got.

Couldn't agree more, seems like a the HD new version is a bad design and idea !
I think that Run/Turn/Brake module that HD has is very unsafe. I was riding in a PGR ride following a guy who had that set up and the difference between running and brake was so minimal that you couldn't tell he had hit the brakes and I damn near ran over top him a couple times before I dropped out of formation and dropped to the back of the pack.
I know that most people are watching for a change in the lights and if your turn signals light up as brake lights only when you hit the brakes it is a noticable change. There is no way I want another bike and especially a car sliding up behind me or possibly rearending me because they didn't notice the difference in my lights.
To each his own, but not for me, NO WAY!!!!!!
