No running Lights...
Little help please guys.....Was brought to my attention this evening (by a law enforcement officer) that I have no rear running lights on my 07 Road Glide....Brakes & signals work fine, what should I be looking for....Any suggestions would be appreciated......Joe

If bike is lowered, rear tire may have chewed up the wiring inside the fender.
the real cure is to get to someone who knows basic electricity and can trace the wiring from the tail light socket back to the fuse.
and check the bulbs too.

You should be doing a walk around pre-ride check.
One foggy night I just made out a station wagon with no tail lights---- moments later a big ol' truck rolled right over that car...

If you're looking for the turn signal lights to be functioning as running lights, they don't come that way from the factory. They are a single filament (1156) bulb. The fronts works as running lights/turn signals. The rears are signals only.

I just posted this issue I was having on my ultra. I changed a burnt fuse, put the new one in and all my running lights came on. Started it up and off they went again. Off to the shop to run down a short. Forum members started me with the fuse. My brakes and turn signals are on a different fuse than the running lights.

depends on year/model. for example, the last couple years, the street glides come from factory with just the two lights that flank the license plate - they are running/brake/turn.
To the OP - change out the bulbs first. always start with the simplest/cheapest.
