I replaced the turn signal lenses on my black 2003 sporty with the smoked ones, kept the rear light red but covered it pretty well with the chrome cover, looked cool. My wife has done the same on her black 883R but I've now got an orange 883R & I'm sticking to the original amber lenses on her, they suit her fine.

I'm running all amber bulbs with all smoked lenses. I am also running the Kuryakyn brand of the run-turn-brake modual.

You should probably check your local laws for the rears though.

These picsare from a little while back:

Not sure about NE, but you may not want to leave your state with amber brake lights. I don't know about every state but all that I know of requireRED for brakes. I assume thats why HD ships red lenses with their run/brake/turn module.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned it to bs883 in my previous post.

Nebraska motorcycle laws are pretty loose. They do require helmets, but they don't even require turnsignals, mirrors, lighted license plates, etc.

My bike's not set up for cross-country trips so I don't get out too far. I've been inan adjacent state, Iowa quite a bit and have had no problems.
