Have 2005 FLHTCI, what a beauty, when I figure out how to post pic I'll put one on. I want to upgrade my rear lights (turns, run, brake), want LED so I'm seen. There are too many products out there and I get confused, TOO much early 60'S. Can someone come to my rescue, ready to purchase but don't know exactly what to order?

Welcome to the world of endless parts. Personally I prefer print catalogs like Dennis Kirk. Maybe I'm old school but flipping through the pages seems easier then finding the part online. Once I know what I want I search the web for a good price with the exact part number or description. You might also want to call your dealer or parts vendor for proper fit and other details on specific parts. Congrats on the bike and have fun modifying

I have the Kuryakyn Panacea Deluxe Laydown Tailight and turn signal kit and I love them. They do everything you want. Your brake light and rear turn signals flash 3 times when you hit your brake and the front and rear turn signal also act as running lights. You can order them from M&M Cycle for 15% off and save a bunch. I installed mine in 20 minutes last summer and haven't had any problems with them at all. They are also very bright and really look cool at night. If you have any questions you can PM me and I'll help you out.

Remember, buying the bike is just the down-payment on parts.....

There are many rear light options, but I think you'll find that the Panacea combination gets good reviews from all that have installed it. It's not the cheapest, but it performs as advertised and is offers a significant amount of additional lumens to the inattentive morons that might be folllowing you.

As mentioned, it took longer to read the installation literature than actually doing it -- I've been very pleased with the comments I've received from other riders regarding visibility.

Ride safe....

I'm still confused. The big confusion is that I was rich before I bought my bike.

I have the same setup as Terry (the Kuryakyn Panacea Deluxe Laydown Tailight and turn signal kit), althought it took me 30 minutes to install

They are great and M&M cycles is having a 25% off for Kuryakyn until Jan 16th.
