I'm getting tired of waiting and want to make sure I consider every product out there}. I have an LED run/turn/brake on VRod and would really like that kind of setup on the Buell but realize with those weird shaped turn signals it probably won't happen. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LED BRAKELIGHT ?

I had built my own but it is starting to see the effects of some vibration and not knowing 100% what I was doing.

I have been looking at one of the sponsers, XBlights.com, Quality looks top notch and you can have the turn signals built in to the tail so you can ditch the stock turn signals. When I get some extra coin this it the route I think I am going to go.

I bought this one:

Took ten minutes to install and works fine.

You know I have to chime in on this one!

There are a few options out there

#1 XB Lights

#2 American Sport Bikes (Heavy Cycles)

#3 Clear Alternatives

It all really boils down to what you like best and want to spend the cash on.

I highly recommend buying one through a sponsor on here!
XB Lights or American Sport Bikes.

I know Al is a great guy with great service.
And naturally I'd like to think I'm a great guy with great service as well.

But honestly, i'd stay away from those cheap eBay ones. get one side by side with mine or Al's and you will see HUGE difference!!!

Clear Alternatives uses cheap 2-prong LED's
so there not nearly as bright.

Hope this helps!

Thanks guys...seems my 'notify by email' isn't working ! I will check those out, I def don't want to go the cheap route. I have looked at the ASbike ones, nice to see I have at least another option !

Edit: Just checked out the XBlights and really like what I see. Sent a few questions.....

Sent you 2 more designs back.....you have been a hoot to work with and I will order one of these choices by Thursday !

What does everyone think? This is for the person keeping his stock turn signals who wants maximum brake lights with just a couple of turn LEDs to serve as a backup if one of his bulbs goes out while riding.

Disregard the boxes, just go by the LED colors:


Robs initial idea



My Option 1



My Option 2..unconfirmed that he can do this one but my favorite
