Anyone know of a kit to make the rear turn signals act as the brake light and turn signals? I want to entirely eliminate the bulky red light and plate holder on the bobtail fender, maybe even chop of a few inches off the fender behind the seat. Any help isappreciated, and pics if you got em!

 

Just look around there are a number of them, Harley included who make them.
Not sure where I saw it but there are rework instructions for making the turn signals into running lights as well.
The other option is to get a different tailight like the LED version that Joker Machine and Harley make.

I didn't likethe big old light that came on mine either so I put the Harley Tri-Bar LED light on.
Its much nicer looking and brighter to boot.


This is it while its on, but hit thebrake and it gets evenbrighter.

The silver plate under it is something I fabbed up to support the tin foil plate the DMV gives you.

I have the Harley kit on mine....about 5 minute plug and play installation....works great.

 

I have the same set up as Surv1, works great.

 

Ditto.

 

Thanks! Thats close, but it looks like it wont work for the bullet style signals that come on the stock train, can you just replace the clear bulbs with red ones and use that plug in that comes in that kit?

 

HD is the easiest way ... but the Kuryakyn ones actually pulse the turnsignals when breaking first. I like that idea. I have the HD ones but would go Kuyryakyn if I had to do it over again. there are other brands out there as well but they usually require you to cut and tap wires.

I think the Kuryayn are plug and play like the HD one.

 

Here's a link for the Kuryakyn version.

Have fun.
