I just got my bike back from Stone Mountain (took 4 weeks), and I've noticed that my running lights up front no longer work. The blinkers still function, but the running lights on both sides are out. I've checked the fuses, everything there is in order. Can anybody give me any hints about where to start looking for the problem?

Thanks,
~SM

I am not aware of any Buells that came with running lights. Is this an after market add-on?

The blinkers up front... aren't they running lights as well? I could have sworn they were... I never ride at night, so I wouldn't normally notice them. Surely I'm not confusing my 12Ss for the old Yamaha 225 dual sport I used to ride.... if so, I feel REALLY stupid!

No running lights other than the headlight and the tail light. Hey, it doesn't get any easier to solve a problem than to figure out that there isn't one. : D

LOL! That's hilarious... I'm such a moron! Thanks for clearing that up!


Wonder why Buell doesn't add any running lights???

Harley sells an add-on kit to fit their models, you'd think Buell could at least do the same. Some people, like me, would pay extra for this feature. In fact, I did. I added the Kisan SM-1 just to get the running lights, front and rear, on my M2.

What I want to know is why we don't have flashers!

Emergency flashers would be neat but, if you are in a situation where you need flashers just leave on one of your turn signals.
