Thanks for the write-up.
One load equalizer will typically cover the whole bike for any amount of LED lights used. That is the case with the Biketronics modules anyway.

No reason other than I have been using Biketronics lighting modules for 7 years now. Before I started using CD LED lights. I just stick to what works. Just like some people swear by Badlands or other companies. I'm sure the CD load equalizer works just fine as well.

I have the moon shinez on mine now as well as clusters for the rear(amber and red) and I use the CD load equalizer with out any issues. I really like the full white of the moon shinez, but am now curious about having the amber for a more recognizable turn signal. Will be checking these out on the CD site, thanks for the write up and pics...

I really like the full white of the Moon Shinez too. But it is a fair trade-off getting a more recognizable amber signal. These still give you great visibility in the daytime with the white outer ring.

I still have the stock turn signals front and back. I have looked multiple times at the CD website. Thanks for the writeup on these lights. I am definitely going with LEDs now I am leaning toward the CD lights.

Have you tried the ones on the rear with the orange signal indicators around the outside perimeters? If so, are they as robust as the front ones you installed?

Thanks.

Ya beat me to this! LOL Thanks for the write up.

I just ordered these as well, should be here this week. Glad to see the improvement CD made to installing those with a flat screwdriver - the versions I got 2 years ago were a tad hard to install.

I went with the front and rear LED's and I got their rear flashing unit as well.

I have the cluster on the rear of mine. The amber is very robust for the turn signals and the red is also quite bright for the brakes.

if I did that right, it should link to a video of the clusters...

Just installed the Dynamic Ringz kit on my 2011 SG. They went on very easily and look very bright. I have worried that the two bullet lights on the 2011 were inadequate. This solves that problem nicely. Quick efficient service from CD. Very pleased.
