What is the writing on the switch, is it the ACC with the green on the bottom, or does it say SPOT, and is there an idicator light on it too?

It is an additional switch that says "SPOT" on it.  The switch has an indicator light when the switch is on.

I was at the dealer yesterday with a list of add-ons for the bike I'll be picking up Monday. Wasn't sure about the looks, but I'm gonna put them on (with the smoked lens and amber bulb) for the safety factor.

While in Sturgis, I saw a SERG with some on the front forks. Not any that have already been referred to here, though. Anyone know what they might be?

I'd think, in order to save an extra slot on the inner fairing cap, you could use the cruise/spot single switch (with the module) that comes standard on the ultra classics, instead of seperate cruise and spot switches on a street glide.

As delivered, my '10 SESG had "cruise" and "acc" switches. Adding the "spot" switch still leaves on open slot.

but I can foresee the need or convenience for several more switches, in addition to spot, cruise, and Acc.

i understand the function and y'all wanting to be safe and all but...................it's a MOTORCYCLE!   ya kinda throw safety out the window the minute ya get on one

no offense, but on my CVO SESG (imho) it would look retarded.  no way i'd mess up the looks of this bike with "light bars".  if i was that concerned about safety i'd 1 - not ride a motorcycle or 2 - go with the UC!

just my opinion.........enjoy!

Actually, some (many) of us LIKE the look of passing lamps. With lowers, my Spiced Rum is slowly turning into the SEEG I didn't buy and always regretted not owning. But, of course with the new frame, 6 gal. tank, six speed, and ABS brakes. Saving for a chopped tour pak. You'll probably not like that either.

As you say, to each his own.

chacun a son gout - but for me a Harley-Davidson touring bike has passing lamps. Period.

If you ever tried to split up a traffic jam with a Sporty and a Ultra you will know which one does the job better 

A lot of the respect other vehicles, pedestrians and even bicyclists (the modern plague of our roads) pay to Ultras comes from those 3 big lights.

Ditto...my reason for adding them was two fold.  Wanted the extra light (a lot of pitch black country roads up here in new Hampshire) and I liked the looks of three lights on a touring bike.  Trying to understand how these detract the looks of the fairing...90% of the fairing is still completely visible?

I think what you saw was Motolights. They mount on the brake calipers and are bright and draw attention from motorists. I like the fact that they will move from side to side as well as up and down (based on road conditions.) so you get a moving light effect.
The company is great to deal with and they offer a CVO member discount too. (See my thread in the dealer feedback area for info.)

Here is a shot of the motolights on my 2009 SERG :
