Has anyone installed the Drag Specialties slimline front turn signal LEDs? They function only as turn signals, and not running lights. I have Custom Dynamics rear LED turn signals. None of the LEDs hyperflash, but the dash lights still flash faster than they should. I've used the Custom Dynamics instructions for syncing the LEDs, which worked for the rear. But, adding the Drag LEDs upfront, my bike keeps throwing a code for the front turn signals low voltage (ie not recognizing them). Is this because they are only functioning as turn signals, and not combined turn signal and running light? I've tried waiting different amounts of time with the hazards on and no success. Is there a trick to fix this? Again, I've tried the prescribed Custom Dynamics syncing instructions and no luck. I can clear the codes with my Fuelpak 3, and then as soon as I hit the hazards, it throws the code again for the front turn signals.

Message custom dynamics on FB. I did that with a similar issue. The owner had the head of development call me at 5Am on a Saturday! He spent 2.5 hours walking me through every possible scenario or could be wire by wire!
They are the best about helping people!They even sent me a new set of pro beams for free which i didn’t need just as a back up!!!

I called their support line, and the rep was very willing to help. Her first suggestion was to clear the codes, so I did that this evening, but the issue still persists. I guess I'll call back tomorrow. I've also messaged them on the forum, and they get back with me very quickly. Great customer service!!!

They really are. Send them a FB message they responded to me all hours. Tell em in the message the issues your having and make it urgent. I told them I was going on a group ride the next morning as I said earlier they did all that for me just so I could ride.

The head of development went througha Tom of programming with me.


Jusy saying. I’m sure they’ll hook you up!

Alright fellas, since I'm new to the Breakout thread, I figured I'd let yal know what I've done so far. I bought my '16 Breakout about a month ago with only 1147 miles and basically stock. What I've done so far...

Vance & Hines Fuelpak FP3
Arlen Ness Deep Cut Air Cleaner
Kuryakyn Throttle Servo cover
Legend Air Ride
FMB Choppers 16” handlebars

That's a sick '16... Love what you've done to it. Possibilities are endless. Best of luck. Keep it sunny side up.

vtchopperdude:

I'm a big fan of the look you're going for,, "great job" !!

FYI, things that will also work if you're so inclined:

1) a 3" tank lift

2) 2" fork extensions,, maybe more. (you'll need to put a shoe on your kickstand).

3) a Blackline dash

4) leave it like it is,, it looks just great !

Thanks, I'm pretty pleased with where it's at just after a month of ownership.

I've actually been looking into the blackline dash for the last few days. I'm trying to be careful of going down the "murdered out" road because blacking EVERYTHING out will get expensive quick. I'm trying to tastefully take some of the obnoxious chrome off, but leave some that is tastefully placed. I can't decide if the stock dash is too obnoxious yet, haha...
