Kuryaken also makes a curved side mount license plate holder that attaches to the lower swing arm just in front of the axel. I had the black vertical mount one on my breakout. Kind of pricey. You will want to purchase a new OEM turn signal stem for the left side signal since the license plate holder will no longer be attached to the left side turn signal. Here’s the link.

Why does Harley put a weight in the left end of the handlebars? And, should I remove it and put it in my new KST kustoms Renegade bars?

^^^^It's a dampener for vibration. We used to fill the bars with lead shot from shotgun shells.

Ok, I thought maybe it had some to do with motor or transmission being offset because of the fat tire.
I've been using the Kuryaken weights for a number of years now.

Thanks

I was thinking about the way that I've noticed Cars that have a brake light flasher in them for the center 3rd light. They always rapid flash for less than a second, and several times, then go solid.
It's really attention grabbing, and doesn't feel annoying to be behind.
I think the best overall patterns that could be done with this flasher module would be 4 flashes in .5 seconds then goes solid, OR 7 Flashes in .75 second, then goes solid.
I think those patterns would be Ideal for Slot 0 and Slot 2.

For now I'm going to keep it on the bike, unless there is per say something you can program on it and send it back?
Pattern 0 seems to be the closest, but I will try Pattern 8 and see how that feels to my eyes.
Other than that I think it's a great idea for a product. I very much appreciate that it works with this setup, letting me have a set of lights infront of the module and after the module, just to maximize the visibility of the rear lights.

Thank you for the reply, btw!
More than happy to provide some feedback.

I love the Bullet Ringz they look so classic yet retro future, perfect fit for my bike's theme, And I love the light bar, it's a wonderful replacement for that dinky reflector. It's just the little things on the bike that start to add up, and they look quite nice.
Thanks for the feedback! I understand where you are coming from. A longer strobe period can help though when a driver behind you isn't paying attention when you first activate it. The flash patterns are permanently coded into the module, and so it can't be altered after manufacture, but I'll definitely pass your feedback along regarding a shorter strobe pattern. I think pattern 4, with the quad strobe, then a second quad strobe, then steady would be the closest thing to what you are looking for, followed by pattern 8.

I'm glad you are also pleased with the Bullet Ringz! They're definitely one of our coolest looking products.

Fran, with that Orange SE cam plate you need a cam cover with a window.

Is there any brackets out there that would allow you to mount a tool bag under the headlight? How does the front license mount to the bike in India?

Broke 8000 miles today. I now officially have put more miles on this bike in less than a year than the previous owner did in 4 years.
I still have essentially 2 months to go till I've had the bike with me for a full year.
