New LED Rear Lighting 2014 Ultra Limited

Recently finished the rear LED Lights on our 2014 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited.  Though the Limited comes with several LED Lights from the factory, Harley-Davidson offers additional LEDs.  I have always said, more is better and when it comes to safety and being seen, well........

Last year we added the Electra Glo LED Saddlebag Run/Brake/Turn Lamps, cost $229.95.  Previously we had a set of Custom Dynamics Chrome with Red Lenses, Fillerz part #GEN-FDRS-RED-C, cost $249.95.  This LEDs fit in the area between the saddlebags and rear fender.  Shortly after they were installed, they stopped working properly.  Harley-Davidson would not warranty the part since it is an aftermarket item.  Custom Dynamics refunded our money, but NOT the cost of installation!  Had these been a Harley-Davidson part, both cost and labor to install would have been warranted!  Shortly afterwards, Custom Dynamics came out with an adaptor so these lights would not breakdown.  Our dealership saw a few come back as mine did.

After the Electra Glo LED Saddlebag lights, we added the Layback LED Tail Lamp, cost $159.95.  The light functions as a running and Brake Light.  The small LED lights mirror the pattern of the Electra Glo LED Saddlebag Lights.

Finally NEW in 2016 Harley-Davidson released Electra Glo Keystone Auxiliary LED Run/Brake/Turn Lamps, cost $299.95.  These new lights fit the area between the Saddlebags and Rear Fender as did the Custom Dynamics ones.  The difference between these and the Custom Dynamics other than these being Harley-Davidson, backed by dealerships worldwide, is that they again mimic the pattern of our Saddlebag AND Tail Lamp LEDs!  Also, the outer perimeter of the Keystone LED Lights have a running light (see 1st photo) and when the brakes, directionals or 4-way flashers are activated, then the inner LED lights are lit!  The photo to the left shows 4-Way Flashers on.  If these would have been brake lights, then the Layback LED Tail Lamp would also have been lit. 

By adding all three, our LED Rear of our 2014 Ultra Limited is now finished.  Total retail cost,  $689.85 plus installation.  Many of you may say, that this is a lot of money, and yes I agree, but what is your safety and your passengers safety worth?  Far too many motorcycles are being operated with terrible, at best rear lights!  Many custom bikes have rear lights that are the size of a quarter.  Though these tiny lights may comply with state laws pertaining to required lights, will it draw the attention to motorists who are behind them?  Again, the more the better, the safer.  Please consider adding LED lights to your motorcycle.  Be seen, be safer!

As always, Ride Safer, more Skilled and Straight!!
