rear should be 1157s on SGs or RGs with no center tail light.

I ordered kit GEN200AW-KIT-1157, so if you were looking just for the rear brake/turn signals it would be the 1157's.

this is SWEET same color bike too
iv been wanting to do this too, looks FANTASTIC.
can you post up the P/N of the strobe for braking?
i think you taking pics of the lights in the direct sun is awesome because that will be the worst case scenario of being able to see or not see the lights. who cares about taking a pic at night...there LEDs of course there going to be bright as #*%!. so thank you for your pics, very well done in my opinion.
you will be ridding safer now & some day i will to.
you have made my decision on getting these LEDs for mine.

thank you again CHILLLS

Here's the part for the "Magic Strobe" to fit a '10-'12 FLHX: MAGIC-STROBES-SS6

After I installed the new rear lights my buddy made a comment. He said before I installed the new lights they tended to 'blend into your bike' given the color. He said now (new CD LED's/Tri-Bar Upgrade) there is no mistake about your running/brake lights. He is a rather 'thrifty' individual, and said they were definately a worthy investment. That settled and validated it for me. Thanks for your kind words. I'm working on it and have along way to go, but I'd like to be as through and informative as some of the real experts here on this forum.

one more thing, did you have to run a load equalizer for the front & rear or is one equalizer enough to cover front & rear??

In most cases one load equalizer will be good for your front and rears. Depends on what make you use. I use Biketronics Smart Equalizer which covers the whole bike.

I installed the CD equalizer with the RF supression. Very easy straight forward install and works great and didn't take up much room under the seat. No issues whatsover.

Right, one equalizer does the trick. If you don't add one your turn signals will think a bulb is out and they will blink very fast. If you have a security system on your bike, for whatever reason, it will cause a condition such that the red 'key' will lite up and remain lit. I know this a) because it's fairly well documented in the forums, and b) I intitally installed one front and one rear light in order to get some side by side comparisons for a few days and proved all the experts correct!

To reiterate, the CD Load Equalizer is fairly big so I mounted it under the seat in the battery box and ran the wires out through the fuse mounting block. The CD Load Equalizer also needs power to operate whereas the Biketronics unit does not, so you have to install additional lugs on the battery. Personally, I would opt for the Biketronics (for space/simplicity) if I needed to replace the CD unit for any reason. My setup seems to work well with correct turn signal blinking and my security 'key' does not remain lit any longer.
