Did you go to Biker Hiway?
I have Harley tyrn signals with smoke lenses. I havent decided if I want LED's there yet.
They carry the Kuryakyn mini bullet LED's that I might get.

Remember if you want the LED Turn signall lights you need a load simulator/equalizer or they won't work propperly. If you just add the LED's into the circuit and keep the incandesant it will be fine. (you can use a bulb as load equalizer) Someone also makes a solid state flasher that will work but I can't find it.

I sure did!!!!
I was just wondering about the turn signals. For now I'll be happy just replacing the brake light bulb!!!!! Eventually, I want to have the modulator to have my turn signals on with the brake light too!!! I want to be SURE people see me from behind!!!!!

They have the Flexible LED's that I might add inside the perimmetr of the lens.

You have the bags on the LT so you can add lights there if you want.

Turns out that Biker Hiway is about a mils and 1/2 from my work so I bought on line and went there to pick the stuff up. Saw all their products, Kaisan modulators, turn cancelers etc. Lots of good stuff!

I would like the LED's...where did you get yours and what will fit? I have the smoke lenses, so I would need colored LED's. And then do I need the equalizer?

Thanks!

Go to bikerhiway.com
Get the RED LED's DUAL intensity
No Load sensor (equalizer) needed for brake light, just turn signals due to the flasher.

These are what i use. They have alot of different things for Motorcycles...

Motorcycle LED Light Bulbs

Takes some modding to get them tight, but its worth the effort, they are very bright and helps you to be seen...

Spok, I just read your comments.

Took me 20 minutes to regain enough composure to even type.

sisooktom · 11-01-2007

Would this one with the direct base not fit? Seems like you wouldn't need the foam with this one:

Dual Intensity LED Cluster - Red 1.85 Direct Base

c_law23 · 11-01-2007

did you already have the clear alternatives led board?

V2K_CCTX · 11-01-2007

Will that fit the V2K??

The direct fits the brake light. I made my tail lights into running/brake lights so i needed the pigtails. I took 2" i believe, styrofoam balls and trimmed them into the tail light, then glued the LED's to that. It works fine, cant see the foam inside.

brent4a · 11-02-2007

They didnt have direct base for turn signals when i did mine. Cant remember if brake is 1156 or 1157.

Direct base will "barley" fit.
I tried 2 at the shop they hit the reflector, you have to force them on. I went with the pigtail one.

If you do it like I did then the one I listed will fit.

Man that is bright, last night I could see my lights in the mirror reflecting on the cars behind me.

I agree....i can see my runnings lights reflect off of the signs when i look in the mirror. I get asked all the time what i did to get them so bright.
