Want to be seen when I put the brakes on. Have not rode for 20 years, but remember my decision to quit, ' outside forces beyond my control', *** hole drivers. Do not understand LED on my search of an upgrade or the suggested electronic parts of the up grade. Can I get some help here for my first upgrade. FIRST HARLEY, 2005 FLHTC, got about 600 new miles on her since purchase 11/05/05.

 

Welcome to the forum! You'll get a ton of good advice here. As for the lights, Harley makes a plug in adapter that turns your turn signals into brake lights. It's about $35.00. For LEDs, lots of aftermarket stuff. Kuryakin makes some good ones. Here's the link to J&P cycles.http://www.jpcycles.com Search LED tail lights and you should see 'em.

Good luck

Here's a good site to start with:

Bought the Kyryakyn Panacea tail lihgt and turn signal light kit. Waiting to get my HD security system installed and programed to do the installation. I will let you know how it works.

 

I bought a Kuryakyn unit that plugs right into the system behind the battery that I'm pretty happy with. It makes the turn signals function as taillights/running lights so you have 3 lights back there instead of 1. When you apply the brakes the turn signals and taillight go into a short flashing cycle to get extra attention behind you. I don't think the HD unit works that way. Got it from Direct Parts for about 40 bux. I always felt that those cars coming up behind you while stopped at a light represent a major threat since you've got to trust those morons to be paying attention.

 

Today, rather than ride in the drizzle, I decided to install the Panacea lites on the scoot. The whole job took about 30 minutes. I am amazed at how much brighter the tail end of the bike is now. The rear turn signals acting as additional running lights make a lot of difference. And, as has been mentioned, the momentary flashing, plus the extremely bright LEDs are an attention-getter. I'd recommend this upgrade, in spite of the rather high cost. The more you can throw up in front of the cage morons the better.

 

Just remember, all that is required it get a cage license is $25 and the ability to stand still long enough for the photo...

Can you get the brake light in LED & not do the entire conversion - leave the turnsignals alone?

 

Biketronics makes a plug-in unit as well with a couple of features.

 

Stand for the photo,lol

In NH you sit for your photo,imagine how nervous i am waiting at lights for them to change

I need to upgrade my lights in the rear as well,just cant figure what to go with
