The turn signals can be turned into turn, brake and running lights through a kit from
www.electricalconnection. I used this setup on on previous bike (vn7500 with a Signal Dynamics BackOff module and Quad led license plate frame, I had the dealer, (they did a great job), do the wiring, due for service anyway, but from posts of cruisercustomizing; it's about a 3 hour or so job for the turn signals. I plan on doing the same set up for new Meanie. It is kind of ridiculous that they don't come from the factory this way, at least as an option. It reallys lights up the back and I noticed people being much more careful coming up behind me at a stop.
