Default rear lighting

I have a 2005 road king classic and am very unhappy with the amount of light coming from the back of the bike. I have looked into the panacea lights, but people that have ridin behind it say it is confusing to read. ( too many lights at one time, confusing stop light and turn signal). Can anyone recommend an alternitive for my bagger. Thanks

HD kit, converts turn signals into running/brake lights, includes easy plug in module/red lenses.

I have the HD "make the taillights come on with the brake light" kit... I think it was about $40-50 and originally was on my Heritage, however it plugged right in on my RK Classic. It effectively multiplies the brake light output times 3.

I put the Kuryakin kit on my 05, it turns the signals into run, brake lights and dod a 3 blink-solid when the brakes were used. It DEFINITELY makes you notice the bike from the back.

I have the HD kit on my '06 RK - lot more red light as both running & brake lights. Also, if you're looking for eye-catching, think about the BackOff XP brake light modulator.
