Red face LED Lights for a Street Glide - Style and Visability

Hi

I was wondering if there are any thoughts, recommendations relative to installing LED lights on a Street Glide.

I don't ride at night. There are alot of deer on Vancouver Island and I just don't feel comfortable with the visibility I get with the one head lamp.

That being said, I do like the simple look of a street glide and I just am not sure what model of LED light, and in what location, would be best suited for a street glide.

Looks are important, but so is function.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Warm regards,

Custom Dynamics has all kind of high quality stuff. I have their LED units in both and front turn signals, load equalizer, device to alternate the flashes on the brake lights and plasma rods. They are all very bright and get peoples attention. I also have a headlight modulator. I installed passing lights with amber bulbs.
I feel I'm about as visible as I can get. They have great customer service also.

Although they aren't LED, I put on the HD fog lights. They go on the engine guards so the fairing keeps the cleaner look. It also breaks up the lights (compared to those using spotlights just under theheadlight), so in my mind is more noticeable.

I have a LED headlight (Kuryaken) and BAL tail light that is LED and patterned for braking (smoked, lay down style for me).

i just installed this week the front indicators as well as the rear brake lights with Custom Dynamic's items. They were plug n play for my 2015 Street Glide Special. They looks awesome. the only bad thing is now i need to replace my headlight with the led unit since having the indicator Ringz, the no color front lights make my current headlight look yellow. so i looks when i can afford it, i will be ordering the Custom Dynamics LED headlight for my bike. great stuff.

Look at the rigid industries SR-M2 wide angle lights. You can mount them to the crashbar

www.rigidindustries.com or check their facebook page.

Those look awesome Griff. Have you had them long? Just wondering how durable they are.
