Very good company. I use them as well. They offer forum members a discount.

 

DD, I agree with you about the extra lights and keeping the ambers. The extra lights above your directionals, how difficult is the installation, like the wiring part? I've looked at those myself, about $195 if I recall

 

Hey there,

I noticed you implied English is not your first language, and that some of the responses came back w/ a lot of abbreviations regarding what others have done. Just in case you missed something people are recommending, here is what some of them have said, and what I have also done.

The first thing I had done to my Road King Classic was to install the run/brake/turn module which converts your rear turn signals into running lights and brake lights, instead of just turn signals. What this does in daylight or night riding is creates a wider light pattern, allowing people to see you from a greater distance and also catch you out of the corner of their eye a little faster, because there are three lights, instead of 1.

Some choose to leave the turn signals yellow, even though they do this conversion. I think in certain light conditions, leaving them yellow does make them more noticeable/visible. I personally chose to use red bulbs in my turn signals to make all my rear lights red. While slightly less noticeable then the constant on yellow turns, I felt it was more traditional and less confusing.

The next thing I did was upgrade my taillight. I chose the custom dynamics light smoked square back LED light similar to this one:



Some of their lights are found here:

Mine is an older model bought earlier this year that had 136 LEDs in it, the new one has 120 LEDs but a newer generation of LEDs.

I considered the BAL (Bright *** Lights) one, but at the time they did not have a smoked option, which was important to me, since I smoked out all the back lights. I also wanted a square back, not a laydown light, because I had a chrome cover for my taillight that I still wanted to use.

I don't think you can go wrong w/ the BAL light, I think it's very bright. I was not able to see one prior to my purchase, but have since seen one in a showroom somewhere. I'm not sure which one is brighter between the Custom Dynamics and the BAL, but they are both a whole lot better than stock, and in my opinion are better than the HD made LED lights I've seen. I like the fact the BAL has different settings on it, I think that makes it better in the sense you can tailor it a little more to what you want.

Another thing to consider, depending on how comfortable you are with being creative and installing things, would be to add some extra lights. One thing I considered were hyperlites, small little led pods you can stick about anywhere, I have NOT bought these yet, but here's a link if you want to see some of those: http://www.hyperlites.com/

The only complaint I've had is on group rides, especially those that involve mountain roads w/ lots of hard turns when we were riding fast and braking before turns etc., one leader of our group had a tailight that's hard to see and it was hard to tell if/when he was braking, but if I was leading, my light was so bright sometimes they thought I was braking when I wasn't, until I did brake and then they saw it was even brighter. So there's definitely a difference in light output between the running light and the brake light, but at a glance the running light might seem bright enough to be a brake light. It just takes some getting used to if people are following you on a ride, but for everyday traffic, I think it's good if people have to take another look to see if you are braking or not because the light is so bright.

Good luck.

I also added lights to the front via the HD chrome engine guard mounted fog lights. I believe they increase my day/night visibility from the front considerably!

Here's a back end shot of bike going into the Tail of the Dragon w/ the smoked lights turned off:





Here's an angled shot in full sun, I might have been draggin the rear brake a little here, not sure, but it's definitely visible in daylight, very bright at night:



Here's a shot of them running, daylight but in the shade, believe I'm accelerating at this point so should just be running lights and not brake lights...

 

Check out CUSTOM DYNAMICS, very happy with mine
