Default The rear of my Street Glide!!

So...what can I do to improve the lights, turn signals to be more noticable to people comming up behind me during the daylight hours on my street Glide? I guess I could always make sure that no one can catch me.

Welcome!

Have you seen these?

I have personally seen the Panacea on a bike. They certainly get your attention.

Best of luck!

I took a multi-stage run at this.

Changed rear turn signals to clear led with red lenses. A bit brighter.

Got Harley wiring kit to make turn signals go on with brake application. Lots brighter.

Got Harley kit to make fender tip tri-light go on with brake application. Some extra flash here.

Now the rear lights up 4 lights with brakes instead of just one.

Mission accomplished.

Kuryakins Panacea lights will definitely wake up the people behind you. Another thing on my wish list!

Does your concern about being rear-ended extend to the point where you're willing to wear hi-vis textile/mesh jacket w/ armor or a helmet (3/4 or full face) since you ride in a no-helmet required state?

Lots of good suggestions about lighting, but hi-vis gear will certainly help you be noticeable by cagers.

Sadly the Panacea won't fit your 2012 (or my 2011 SG). I strongly recommend the custom dynamics LED set up. SUPER bright.
