    Hi guys, (and dolls),
    I was looking into the brake light flashers and actually got more interested in the run-brake-turn adapters for my FLHTC.
    Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with these?
    I was looking on the Chrome Glow web site and the BikerHiway website.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    well it's all LED,, there are several outlets online you can do it for 20%

    if you want one to turn the exiting signals non led stock bulbs to RTB

    Here is the Back off module

    Call Phil at www.harleypartscheap.com he'll give you a deal, it's only about $40, usually close to $30 on discount...

    You have to splice it in but it will do what you want

    I run the HD one & had it on there for about four years now , extra light's & more brake lights is a big plus , I put LED's in the back lights on my tour pack :cool:

    I have the adapter that runs the rear turn signals as running lights and brake lights. Got it from the H-D dealer for $59. Pull the seat, unplug the connector to the rear lights, plug in the adapter, tuck it in where it fits. Put the seat back, replace the amber lenses with the red from the kit. good to go. The aftermarket charges twice as much for the same thing.

    I highly recommend it. I've been rear-ended, and when the bike was getting rebuilt I had them install the LED tail light along with the run-brake-turn set up. A lot of people have told me it's very visible, and I do notice that people seem to stop behind me sooner a lot of the time.

    My Street Bob had the HD running lights. It's a huge improvement. People have difficulty locating one single light source, they extrapolate much faster with three lights. You're definitely safer an it looks cool IMO.
