Rear Turn Signal on 2016 Touring Bikes?
As I was pondering whether I want to upgrade to a new Limited from my 2007 Ultra, I noticed that the rear turn signals like were on my bike are no longer on the new touring bikes. It appears the the turn signals are now just located in the tour box. I see you can buy an optional kit to also mount them just under the lids of the saddlebags in case you would ever want to have d detachable touring park. Does anybody know if you can retro-fit the old style lights on the new Touring machines, (meaning that the wiring for turn signals still goes back to the stop light area, or if Harley even makes that set up available as an option? I have always wanted more lights on the back of my bike to inform people behind me, not less lights. I followed a new Gold Wing this morning that had so many LED lights on the rear of it that it was very apparent when he was turning or stopping. I want to also be that obvious.

I have a BAL on both bikes love it.... but....
I really like the old school look of the turn signal bar on the back.
I was seriously thinking of upgrading to '15 from my '12. The lack of a turn signal bar on the new models, was one of the reasons I stayed with my dialed in '12 over a new bike......

I agree, not the only reason I haven't upgraded, but I love the look of the '13-down Tour Paks, and Turn Signal Bars on the fender. Just more of an "Old School" look.

When I bought my '15, I asked about the old style turn signals and the dealer said not on the '14+ bikes. I never looked into it any further. I moved my BAL over from my '11 and added the HD saddle bag LED lights. The rear end looks like a red christmas tree. Short of adding the CD fillerz, I can't add much more light back there. I can't recommend a BAL highly enough.
