Default Custom Dynamics lens cover preferences

Does it depend at all on the color of your bike? What were your preferences and why?

Front
Amber
Smoke
Clear

Rear
Red
Smoke
Clear


FYI: My 2010 FLHX is Red Hot Sunglo.

I have a Yellow bike so I put the clear lenses front and rear

With Amber colored bulbs in the front, and Red colored bulbs in the rear

All from Custom Dynamics, whichever route you choose, you will love them, they are very bright.

Do you think the smoke lens are mostly for the blacked out look?

Depends on the color and the style bike you are going for (modern/retro in my mind). I really like the look of the led headlights (and have almost bought some several times), smoke lenses, etc but I've got a black RKC with white walls. Amber in the front, red in the back for me. Plus I'm running the yellow spot lights for that added throwback look.

I've been debating the same thing. I want to get the Dynamic Ringz for the front because I think they will compliment the LED headlight and auxiliaries but I can't decide between the clear or smoked lenses. Nothing else on the bike is blacked out so leaning towards the clears.

Clear lenses and CD LEDs......But I also added another set of amber turn signals to the rear, because the red in daytime just didn't grab attention. The amber almost bores a hole through your skull

I'm blackening out the entire bike... so I'm going with smoked in the front. I'm getting ready to install the CVO rear fender which already has smoked lens.

I have BBP & went smoked front/rear w/dynamic ringz. I don't think the smoked lens will reduce the brightness of the lights much at all - probably not even noticeable difference
