Rear Lighting

[Motorcycle Mike]

After leading some group rides last week I was shown photographic proof of how anemic my rear lights are. I would really like the hear about what you've done

and where you got the lights. Pics would be great too.

Also, my RSV is triked with a Hannigan conversion.

Thanks every one!

Here is how I fixed my lighting issue.

I think it will be a little cheaper to add some lights Joe.

Besides, I really like my venture and I've already talked Woody into helping me with the wiring.

I can't let him off now.

Well, if that's the case the LED bar between the helmet locks works well and the trunk wing if you can find one.  I also put accent lights on the saddle bags, will have to look up the parts its been a minute.

He can't do the LED light bar Hannigan used up that space.

Saddle bag lights won't work either, guess the same ones would work on the fenders.

I installed a LED bulb, twice as bright as stock. Will post the brand later if interested.

Here's what I did: 

The Custom Dynamics LED/control module is very good.  Its programmable and I have mine set to quickly flash the brakelight for 3 seconds before going solid.  Their customer service is phenomenal too.  A few months ago the left side blinker was blinking slow.  I emailed them on a Saturday morning, for whatever reason, not expecting to hear back until Monday, at the earliest.  Got a response back same day!  It ended up being a bullet connector that came disconnected on the front blinker and caused some weird load imbalance on the controller, which has some smarts built into it to at least tell me something was wrong.

I found these. I can get them just about any length I need.

Any body have experience with them?

I have one of these on my luggage rack as a tail light. They are made as a turn, tail, brake light on a 4 wire system. Very bright.

M61A1MECH can make you up a lightbar for the back. He built me one for my RSV, also my Victory. And he has done them for GW too.

Pictures look identical to the custom dynamic one I installed.  My guess would be they all come out of one factory over yonder and then get shipped to different resellers.

Just ran across these pictures in the member's album.

Thanks everyone.

I ordered the lights I linked to above.

I bought 1 long and 2 short. If they are as bright as they say they should be fine.

I'll update when I receive and get them installed.

Don, I know that bike.🙂
