warning CVO owners
Just had dealer install the new 2014 rear saddle bag led lights. The ones that do tail/turn and brake lights. They even showed me how bright they were on a other bike. THEY DO NOT WORK as brake lights on cvo's. The only resin I wanted them was for more brake light. Now I'm out almost $400 and can't take them off or there will be holes in my bags.

Uh! Okay. However, I strongly suspect that installing a lead wire from the brake to the tail light to the saddle bag light would give you that function.

a smart boy could wire tham up to give brake and turn signal functions.
if you are dealing with a dealer- the 12 year old techs are not trained to know anything unless it is presented to them on a screen.
stop by the house, i'll sort it out in 1 hour - $60
( sorry, had to deal with dealer tech for a recall issue yesterday...I had to take it back...brakes need to be bled or they don't work too good- news to them)

dealer said cvo has deferent wiring then the limited/street glide. They should have known and should have let me know. They teased me by showing me them on a street glide with the brake light( brite) Then $400 later opps no brake light. Just the reason I had them put on.
