Got the HD led tail lamp. Very pleased. Perfect fit and finish and bright. Reasonable at $139 through your local HD dealer.

I think this may be a "you get what you pay for" deal. While a bit to bite off in the wallet department, you can't beat a Bright *** Lights LED tail light. I've had one for about a month and it is the best mod I've done to my bike. Others in forum have said the same. Took 3 minutes to install and no load eq needed. IMHO, you can't put a price on doing everything you can to make sure others see you. I also installed a PIAA bulb for the headlight. It was another good mod since there is not an LED headlight option, that I could find, for my 04 WG.

Do they make one like that without the turn signal function?

I paid $30 for this one from Chopperscycle. I really wanted the Kuryakin one, but they wanted $120 for theirs.

The LED bulb isn't real bright. I may have to swap it out:

I have the same on my bike and my buddies all say they can't even tell when I'm on the brake in the day time.

I hardly consider $140 for a taillight reasonable.

Thanks for the replies. Since nobody seems to have one, one of us will have to be the tester. I'm still a little concerned. I agree, normally you get what you pay for. But I am always looking for that guy out there willing to give you a good deal on a quality product. Every once in a while I find him! lol!!

That looks pretty sweet! And it says no modifications required so I would gamble you don't need to worry about the load. Whats the Ebay price? The same?

Just talked with Victor @ D2 Moto. He will be sponsor of HD Forums soon.
The product looks great, anyone have ideas on wiring for 12 volt, 1960 Panhead W/O turn signals.
I would like to make use of turn signals included in product. I would need turn signal switch-turn signal flasher-wiring diagram. Anyone ever completed this type of project? Any suggestions, thanks!

I've been thinking of the BAL-3 myself...

OK, over my lunch break, I spoke to the tech guy at Choppers Cycle (who I bought mine from), the tech guy at D2 Moto, and I emailed Kuryakin asking about their taillight.

They all told me the exact same thing: you need a load equalizer if turn signals are involved. If it's just the brake light, with no signals, you do NOT need the load equalizer.
