Custom Dynamics Plasma Rod review with pics
I recently installled the CustomDynamics.com Plasma Rods on my Ultra.
I mounted them on the saddlebag filler strips instead of on the saddlebag itself. This way, I didn't have to make a disconnect plug for removing the bags. I made mine as run/brake lights, but you can make them run only, or brake only or run/turns.
Pros;
Easy install
Looks good even when off, can't be seen
Added lots of light in low light conditions(cloudy/dusk/dawn/night )
Cons;
Not so bright in full midday sunlight
All in all, these PLasma Rods look good and add more light to the rear of my bike. I'm all for making myself more visable to other vehicles.
As running lights at 8 feet;
As brake lights at 8 feet;
Brakes at 20 feet;

Yes, they can be any of the following;
running only
run/brake like I have
run/turn
brake only
turn only
All depends on how you wire them up. They affix via 3m bumper tape

Those DO look great! I'm going to get a pair right away. I went to that link that you posted, but I can't find the specific "Plasma bars" that you're talking about, can you tell me where to find them. I found the "stingers", and the "psycho's", but not specifically what you mentioned. They ARE in the motorcycle section, right?

I don;t know? When I click on the links it takes me right to the PLasma Rods page on their site. It is under motorcycle lights, and Harley

I almost got those but went with the Smoke Flex Arrays from Radiantz. They are cheaper and extreamly bright. So bright the Tri-Bar light does not even look like it is brake mode. I am planning on breaking open the Tri-Bar light and replacing the cheap HD LEDs with more Randiantz LEDs.
