better rear light, need help
hello, I need help from BAL users. I would like to have a brighter rear light in order to have more light when riding, I dont care if it is really bright when you use the brake, I need a brighter rear ligh while riding.
I would like to know is bal is also brighter than stock while riding. I have a rk classic and some people told me that its hard to see me at night.
I would also like to know if someone is using the HD chromed directional bar with integrated rear led light and if it is a waste of money or not.
Im talking about http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US
as i said i would like more rear light while riding, I dont care when i use the brake because i think stock brake light is bright enought, If i can improve the brake light too is ok but the idea is to have a better rear light when i ride
please excuse my english, i dont speak english very good.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!

Check out www.Ridetimetechnology.com, that's where I purchased all my LED lighting. He's a great guy to deal with also.

Personally, I don't like the looks of LEDs but to each his own.
I have a Custom Dynamics Genesis II LED tail light and I am really happy with it. Here is a link to the review I did.

sonar how bright is that light compared to the bal1?
anyone has seen the hd directional bar with rear light integrated? I wonder if it is a waste of money.
btw my bike is a 2009 rkc without tourpack, so tourpack leds wont help.

I have the r/t/b conversion and the BAL-1. Love them both. The BAL has three settings for the running lights (not brake lights). I use the middle one because the third one is too bright. These two modifications are so great because your bike has no extra lights. Same three original lights but much better.

I have an Ultra so I have rear lights in the TourPak too, which is a great addition. The rear turn signals have been upgraded to running lights/brake lights using HD #69461-06A. It's a plug and play installation and it adds plenty of light to the rear.
Personally, I don't like the looks of LEDs but to each his own.

I could see them much much better in the daylight.

After reading many posts and threads and seeing what others has done about more light in the rear.
I decided to to this
My reasoning was that turn lights need to really catch folks attention. With amber turn lights stand out more than all red will.
Not saying I am right, just saying this is how I see it.
They really light up the rear day or night
Plug and play

I was just reading a post on these lights. Seems like they really are noticable. No personal experience with them though. http://www.brightasslights.com/
