Default Which lenses look the best?

I'm trying to decide which lenses to get for my vivid black Sporty, and I'm looking for suggestions. If anyone has pictures, I'd like to see them. Thanks.

On the rear run all red lenses and use the HD run/brake/turn module. $55 for everything needed.

A Sportster looks best with no turn signals at all. Take 'em off if your law allows.

I added another option to the poll. Seems like most people like the look of smoked front and all red rear. Can someone explain the HD run/brake/turn module to me?

It's just a plug in relay that makes your turn signals light up with the brake lights.

That's almost right. It makes your rear turn signals also act as running lights and brake lights as well as turn signals.

Not the "Best", (it's all just opinions), but I ended up going with the "smoked/led" theme, along with the HD module. It's a real improvement when all three lights (turn signals/brake light) are lit up when you' re riding. I have a friend who went with the clear lenses and led look- didn't think I'd like it, but it really looks great.
