It's awesome! There ar two circular LED lights that go in the stock turn signals. There is some modulator that plugs into the wiring that will flash teh brake and "turn signal LEDs" when you hit the brakes. Flashing pulses 5 times or so before going to a steady light. This is independent of the turn signal which works with the brake lights steady, flashing, or off.

He showed to us at dinner and I got to view it when I rode behind him Saturday. the first time he hit the brakes, I thought "that's cool"! Kind of woke ME up!

I love the mod and installation I have!!

I've installed the following:

http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/detail.cfm?model_ID=0&Category_ID=5&manufacturer_ID=223&product_ID=6421&sblid_name=Electrical_Connection_Turn_Signal_Conversion_Kit_
I just hated the fact that the turn signals were dead when the bike was running; ie: no running lights??

and:

http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/detail.cfm?Category_ID=47&manufacturer_ID=58&product_ID=954&model_ID=0&query=back%20off
They work great in combination!!

Really have to see them in person to give them credit! I'll do a short video?? would that help?

I agree with Steve-O. This is a very cool mod. I haven't followed him on a ride, but when we ate dinner I was really impressed with this one. Thanks for sharing your secrets David! Smile

David:
Do these come with sufficient instructions and all of the parts needed?
Any extra wiring involved?

Modulator says it does not work with LEDs, but your's obviously does....

Steve-O,

Yes, instructions are there but I wouldn't say they are great. wiring was the hardest part but doable.... all wiring comes with them.

I'm not sure why is says it doesn't work with LED's??? mine does.

For a very nice LUNCH i would help you wire yours....unless you want to tackle it yourself. Be ready to take your rear turn signals all apart for the wiring though... it's pretty extensive. I suppose you co do all the wiring exposed but I put mine thru the posts, etc....
