Default Plasma Rods Lights

In looking for lights to put on my street Glide. I came across these. They are called Plasma Rods.

Have any of you had them? Heard of them?
Any feedback is welcomed.

I have them on my '11 SG. They work great and look very cool (IMO). You can find some good tips on install if you do a search on "plasma rods" in the touring forum.

Nice! If I had a bagger, I would buy them! Kind of pricey, but what isn't in the Two wheel world?

Thanks. How do you like the Merlot Sunglo. It really pops in the Sun.

It's the same lights that Krystals uses on their buildings that look like neons. There is no plasma in them, just LEDS

I really like the Merlot Sunglo. Not too flashy, but I like how the color changes based on the lighting.

I would add them if I were you, I think the new lighting that Harley has gone with is not enough to make sure someone behind you see's that you are stopping. I guess they are saving quite a bit of money by not putting a tail light on the touring bikes now.

I don't have them, but was behind a bike with them last weekend. I thought they looked pretty cool, and increased visibility. A win-win.

I'm staying with the OEM tail light, at least the cagers know whats's going on when the light goes bright, they just might think the strip plasma/LED's are just another fancy blink light and pay no attention to it?? ... and these people vote.
