Brake light conversion kit
Just installed the new brake light kit, the one with running lights as well as brake lights/signals. It seems like the tail lights are almost as bright as the brake light. There is a difference but not alot when you apply the brakes. Anybody notice this with theirs? The old conversion kits were just brake lights without running lights which you can't get anymore. I think they were more noticable, but are now obsolete.
Cheers!

I have an '06 RK that I put the same kit on -- it does the same thing, function as running lights/brake/turn signals. Funny thing was the guy helping me put all my parts on has an '03 RK with the older kit -- his don't function as running lights. My brake lights are only slightly brighter than my running lights too. I am debating buying the BackOff XP brake light modulator.

I'm running the "TailBones" plug in kit from Biketronics .. Tail, Brake & Turn Signals and I have a good contrast between the Tail and Brake lights. Biketronics TailBones [8D]

Mine appear to be as bright as the tail light and when the breaks are applied they might even be a tad bit brighter. I was thinking about get the module that makes them flash when I apply the breaks also. Still haven’t found one that I like. My dealer sells a license plate bracket that has a red LED going across ithe bottom, that might be a good place to put the flasher, that way it still flashes but the whole thing doesn’t flash.

Pony up for the Kuryakyn Panacea tail light. I did It has amber turn arrows in it and when you apply the brakes it flashes a few times. Its led so its bright and uses very little juice. Heres a pic of the back of my bike. Ben

I think that Run/Turn/Brake module that HD has is very unsafe. I was riding in a PGR ride following a guy who had that set up and the difference between running and brake was so minimal that you couldn't tell he had hit the brakes and I damn near ran over top him a couple times before I dropped out of formation and dropped to the back of the pack.
I know that most people are watching for a change in the lights and if your turn signals light up as brake lights only when you hit the brakes it is a noticable change. There is no way I want another bike and especially a car sliding up behind me or possibly rearending me because they didn't notice the difference in my lights.
To each his own, but not for me, NO WAY!!!!!!
