I had the Hyperlites on my 95 DWG & have them on my 05 RKC since I saw them at a NY state rally in 1998. Never had a problem with them, hardest part of installation was making a backing plate to stick them on. I also have a BrightAss tailight on RKC now & it's ****.

So do you like the combo of the Hyperlights and the BAL on your RKC? Not too much? This thread got me to thinking about this for my Ultra, and you're the first prson I've seen posting they've done both.

Uh, check the GoldWing forum? Seems every one of those things has a pulsating head/tail light.

I did and found what you were talking about, Thanks!

I have the 16 LED Hyperlites and a 96 LED Whelen brake/tail/turn strip light. The Hyperlites are bright, but the Whelens will burn your retinas!

My Road King came with the flasher, i have never seen it, it just works. I added Custom Dynamics LED brake and turn signals in the back. They are very bright! My daughter was following me and thought I was riding the brakes until I hit the brakes. They are that bright.
I highly recommend them for safety if nothing else.

Yep, I have a Whelen LINZ6 I'm using as a brake light, mounted to the tourpak. I've had cops catch up with me thinking it was a cop scoot.

Sure looks bright but not sure where I would mount one that big on a SG and it still look decent?
