Now THAT is illumination!

I will feel much better with those lights behind me. Thanks, GS!

Like the video...you can set the brake light to flash 3 times or, not flash. The flashing gets thier attention.

I like the Street Magic 100 LED Genesis II LED Tail Light, but I'm confused about this statement in the product description:

Does Not Replace Bikes Equipped with OEM LED Tail Light

My tail light on my 2000 Road Star has an LED cluster bulb. Does that mean that this product can't be used on my Road Star?

There's no email address to inquire about products on their site -- or at least, I couldn't locate one.

Found out what I needed to know from Custom Dynamics on their Facebook page.

I pulled the trigger tonight on the Street Magic 100 LED Genesis II LED Tail Light. One of the best things about it is that they ship to Thailand for $20 USD.

So this thread has made me want the triple whammy rtb but I have a question now too, what does it look like with the brakes applied and the turn signal on? The other two lights on solid and the one blinking like normal?

Here's a video to give you an idea. It is daytime and very sunny out.... but as you can see when the turn signals applied, that tail light shuts off. But believe me, That just makes the turn signal that much brighter at night. And also as you can see, It does the same when you apply to brake. I will take another video tonight to show how much brighter it is.
Oh well...you get the idea.

The 2000 came stock with a regular bulb. After 2004 (I think) the stock taillight was that diamond shaped LED cluster. If you've got the stock 2000 taillight housing then you will be okay with the 100 LED cluster. That's what I've got. I have a clear lens and it light up everything behind me.

For some reason, I can't load the Custom Dynamics website to show you, but I also installed the RTB signals that have the red tail, red brake, and amber turn. They're not cheap, but I got 'em for Christmas from my kids, so . . .

Thanks, BD!

I ordered the red lenses for the rear turn signals and the RTB Controller the day before. I will feel much better with all of that red behind me.
