Default Rear lighting
What has anyone done to increase there rear lighting on their bike with run,brake,turn signal lights without a regular brake light ? I have a 2011 FLTRX that the turn signals act as run.brake, and turn signals, I'd like more brake lights.

I just changed my rear tail light and bottom fender running light to the Custom Dynamics LED lights. I can't say the tail light is really bright, but the fender tip light is blinding when the brakes are on. The factory was just running light and the led is both, for the money, that one is a hell of an improvement.

Wont work. You dont have a center brake light.

Only suggestion I could make for you would be to find some super-bright LEDs for the R/B/T lights and get the brighter light for the fender tip. Other than that, your only options are custom modification, or changing out your fender to accept a regular tail light.

You can also add Priority Lights to whatever lights you have- when you hit the brakes they flash the brake lights for a few seconds. I've used their products over the years and they are good quality.

Thanks honorsdaddy, I don't think the earlier posts knew there wasn't a center brake light already on the fender on the 2011 FLTRX. Guess I'll keep looking.
