Default Ideas to clean-up the front and rear light setups

So - I am about to get into the search for options to replace the stock driving light and turn signal bar in favor of the rigs that bolt-on each side. I recall seeing Kury had some but curious what you guys may be using.

Also - Rear. I have stock rear RK with a BAL tail light/brake light and want to lose that huge bar. Maybe a SG setup?

I just did:

Rinehart True Duals Classic w/ 4" mufflers
Andrews 57 cams
Chrome front end
Carlini Flying Apes
SS Braided cables
Klock Werks plain front fender
(Pics coming in a few days)

I am going to sell my Dragonfly fairing and Sony stereo setup and keep going with this bike to "clean it up". That is, make it sleek and simple.

So I want to clean 'er up.

Any ideas?

On the front I wanted keep driving lights so simply replaced turn signals with bullets. On rear I'd look for a '09 Street Glide fender so you can keep BAL. You see them for sale often with people upgrading aftermarket fenders.

I also wanted to clean my RK up and lose the large turn signals front and back but allow the RK to keep its identity
What I did was, fit a narrow RK rear turn signal bar and fit HD bullets front and rear along with moving the licence place mount and fitting a layback rear light lens.

Looks nice! Mine is on '09 (wider rear) but this could still work.

Thanks for the idea to use a SG rear fender etc. Good thought.

My plan to clean up the look of my '11 FLHTP by removing all visible turn signals, front and rear. In the front I will remove the stock turn signals, in the stock spot light i will purchase dual-purpose led's from www.v-leds.com that will allow my spot lights to remain active with white light during normal operation, but once i hit the blinker will blink amber. In the back i will purchase the multi function brake light from CD that operates as running light/brake light and both blinkers.
With this setup i will retain all functions but will eliminate the visible blinker housings.

Another option i thought of was putting the v-led's in my stock blinker housings, allowing for 5 front facing white lights while keeping the stock look and functional turn signals

+1 on SG rear on RK. Luck out when a member here was getting rid of his 09 SG rear fender. ****** it up and slapped it on my 09 RK and voila. Replaced the stock laydown brake lights and turn signal lights with LEDs from Custom Dynamics. Really cleaned up the look.
