Just got my set of Dynamic Ringz a few days ago. Had a chance to pop them in today and figured I would do a little write-up.

Custom Dynamics Dynamic Ringz

I currently run the Moon Shinez™ by Custom Dynamics which are pure while LED front clusters. They act as driving lights and signals. Well they just came out with the new Dynamic Ringz™ which are an outer ring of pure white LED's which act as driving lights. But the center LED cluster flashes amber and the white outer ring shuts off when the signals are activated. I think these are a little safer as to not confuse oncoming traffic.

Quality is always great with Custom Dynamics. The clusters have a coating on the back to protect the circuit board against moisture. I really like what CD has done with the connector plug on their newer LED clusters. They have put a slot that allows you to use a flat head screw driver when inserting and turning the plug. Much easier than the older style that you had to press in with your fingers and turn.

Installation is a snap.

-Pop off your turn signal lens and remove the bulb.
-Using a flat head screwdriver inserted into the plug slot push the plug in and turn until locked.
-Hold the cluster in your hand and while facing you rotate either clockwise or counter-clockwise to coil the wires behind the cluster.
-Place the cluster in the signal housing and while holding it in place pop your lens back on.

Simple as that.

The white outer ring is not as bright as the Moon Shinez, but is still plenty bright enough to be noticed in the daytime as well as at night. In the dark they light up to a slight bluish white which perfectly matches any of the current LED headlights on the market. The switching from the outer white to amber is instant but there is a very slight delay in the transition from amber back to white. Nothing to worry about there.

I am very happy with these. I am not a fan of amber running lights, but I think they will be beneficial when turning as most of the population is used to seeing amber as a turn indicator.

Here are a few pics and a quick video.

You can see here how the back of the cluster is coated to protect from moisture


The notch in the plug for super easy install


Hard to snap pics of LED lights. But this shows the difference between the outer white running light and amber inner signal


These are the Moon Shinez for comparison



Per request here are a few pics outside in the sun. Doesn't good a good representation of how bright they actually are.

What are you doing for load equalizers if anything?

 

I use Biketronics Smart Equalizer. Been using them for years.

 

is that the BT801?

 

It is the BT801M.

 

ah ohh ill have to go back to there site, i didnt see the bt801M

 

Looks great! That is on my to-do list for this winter!

 

never mind apparently im blind & didnt know it

 

I am planning on this upgrade in the near future. I have a couple questions....

1) When switching to LED turn signals front & back, do you just need the one equalizer that plugs in under the seat?

2) Why didn't you use the Custom Dynamics Equalizer?


Thanks for the write-up.

 

My order for the same will be here this week. Hope they are bright.
