Hi all,

On my 1998 Road Glide I installed the Kuryakyn Panacea tail lights and turn signals. They were about as bright as the stock lights and had brake light application flash (really seemed to get driver's attention), cool color changing directional/brakes and 300 LEDs for brake lights. With my 1998 only the Kuryakyn would fit, so the choice was easy if I wanted to use LEDs.

With my (19 days from estimated arrival date!) FLHTCUSE3 I have more choices. I could install the Kuryakyn Panacea tail and turn lights on this bike (this time with smoked lenses!) or the tail lights and turn signals by Radiantz. While neither is listed as fitting the 2008 FLHTCUSE3 the manufacturers state they will work.

Radiantz have fewer LEDs but are supposed to be much brighter. Kuryakyn have more LEDs, brake application flash effect and have the cool color changing (red vs amber) effect with and directional arrow on the tail light. I know the Kuryakyn are very easy to install (taking off the seat is the hardest part of the whole process) and they do give great tech support from past experience.

Has anyone seen both of these systems side by side in order to compare them? How is their visibility in day/night driving? Does Radiantz offer a flash option for the brake light? Reliability? Tech support?

How do these two tail lights compare to the "Official HD LED Tail Light"?


Thanks!

Does Radiantz offer a flash option for the brake light?

I don't know if Radiantz has that feature available.  If they don't, "Backoff" has a module that you wire in to the brake wire and will make it flash a couple of different ways depending on how wired.

I put the Kuryakyn Panacea tail lights and turn signals on my 2007 jester, they look and work great, ez to install. MY VOTE IS FOR THE KURY.

Just installed Kury's Panacea setup (brake and all 4 turn) on my 07 CUSE2.  The brake flash is awesome and these things are very bright.  I feel good about recommending this setup.
