The ones I see from D2moto say $80 http://www.d2moto.com/c-788-harley-tail-lights.aspx is that the one you got? how do you like it? Do you know if I could keep my turn lights and add extra pair on the tail light? is there enough plugs? Thanks for any info.

That peg is bad *** couldn't find original post on where you picked it up I usually stick my boot under the break peddle on the highway but had a little scare made a sloping turn to the right and the edge of my boot brushed the pavement not doing that again and I don't like highway bars on lo's just me but takes awY from the stance IMO

There's a thread in this forum about this light.. the people who have it generally say that they "Like how low-profile it is, but it's only as bright as you can expect for $50"..
http://www.hdforums.com/forum/d2moto...n-signals.html


back when that thread was opened, it was priced at $50, then went to $56, then jumped to $80. kind of ridiculous, but that's supply and demand. And i think i've read somewhere that you CAN keep your stock turn signals, and wire these in, but you need to purchase the separate load equalizer. just gotta splice a few wires and solder them together i suppose. i think that idea would help if you also bought some LED bulbs for your turn signals (you can get them on ebay or amazon for not-expensiveness, they're a socket 3157), and let the load equalizer handle everything. of course, you can also just run the brake light and leave the turn signals unwired. If you only use the LED brake light, you do not need the load equalizer.

There was a guy on here that did all LED and didn't need an equalizer IIRC...I think it depends on if you have a '10 or '11 Lo though. I forget his name but think he's retired military.

Yeah you're right...i keep forgetting about the damn 2011's new electrical system..and i'm flabberghasted about that dual horn/trip button..that drives me insane that i couldn't wait 6 months for the 2011's to come out before i bought my bike. oh well.

supposedly the wiring system in the 2011's will handle LED turn signals without a load equalizer..


.......or i could have waited 18 months and got a 2012 with the new electrical system and a "supposedly" stock 103. damnit to heydiddlediddle.

Hey Aaron, how are those medustas working out for you? able to take a video of the sound and youtube it or anything? I'm on the fence about replacing my BSS's this winter.. between a D&D FatCat (even though now it seems like a lot of people have them) or a Martin Bros Collector, or maybe some samsons or something
