Default Rear turn signal opinions

I am about to install bags on my wifes Dyna Low rider. The turn signals need to be relocated. I'm looking for opinions good or bad about the rear tail light that has the signals integrated in it.
Does anybody have these? Are they bright enough that they can be seen as easily as the stockers?
Opinions????? Thanks.

I have the Kuryakyn Panacea tail light on my Dyna. It's definitely as visible as the stock, if not better. If your plan is to eliminate the rear turnsignals altogether, i'd advise against it. The turnsignal integrated into the taillight is great, but I don't trust a cager to recognize what that flashing arrow means.

These are pretty cool...

They fit over the tips of the fender struts - have seen them on a few Softails before. Would be a decent option if used in combination with the integrated tail light/turnsignal.

Thought about getting different bags? It doesn't look like there is much of a choice for relocating the turn signals and keeping the turn signals highly visable...just a thought, good luck.

I had the same thought with my new superglide. I planned on using the Panacea only, and deleting the turn signals. However, once I had it installed, I didn't think there was near enough light back there.

I fabbed some brackets and mounted the lights on the license plate.

The ones on the Santiago site are made by Alloy Art. Here they are on the back of my FXSTI. One of my favorite mods. You can find them on dragspecialties.com in the Fatbook under marker lights. They have lists of dealers and you should be able to find one in your area.
