Skratch, was looking at the same thing from CD... Did you switch your turn signals over to LED pods as well or still using the stock bulbs? Not too many options out there for those of us without the large fender light.

Plug 'n play, 5-minute install, effective as it gets. Not exactly "cheap" but easily the best and most effective $200 I've thrown in.

Another BAL fan. There are lots of habitual tail-gaiters in Oklahoma but it is now very rare for them not to back-off after a few flash cycles of the BAL As close as you can get to street legal police lights.

Me too...It's the best looking IMHO and I like the red running lights, that turn yellow when your signaling. Gets their attention!

I had mine on max until I swapped bikes for a few miles with a buddy of mine and nearly blinded myself.

Default Custom Dynamics

Make sure you have a lift to put your scooter on to do this it will take a 45 minute install to about 15. I purchased Hogworkz and I would not recommend this brand. I have seen tons of reviews on the Custom Dynamics brand if i was buying another that’s the way I would go for sure.
