Light up hand controls

[consitter]

I actually had these put on my TG towards the end of the riding season last year. The reason I'm saying something now is because they really stood out on my ride to work after dark.

If you ride at night, these are a must. I know you must be thinking you should not be looking down to work your hand controls, and you would be partially right. But even a tiny glance helps out tremendously when you are trying to find the right button to push. I personally think they ought to be standard equipment on all Harley motorcycles, just as a safety issue.

Being as it is, I still give these hand controls 2 thumbs up, as I can find controls with my thumbs much easier now.

+2. It's pretty easy to get tangled up in your underware at night. :Agree:

I have been thinking about adding them, but never got around to it... did you do it yourself or have the dealer install? And how much?

Thanks!

I was looking at putting them in my 2010 tri glide, but it says they are not compatible with tri glide?

I got lucky. My left turn signal failed and warranty replaced it including labor. I only had to pay $90 difference total to have it all replaced.

Nope, me too. And I've scared the crap outta myself doing it!

I have a 2014 trike and I had the lighted controls put on but found that the the reverse no longer functioned. When the dealer informed me of this I had them removed. Does the reverse work on your 2015 trike?

There is a tab under the reverse toggle switch that needs to be removed to let the switch toggle

They now make some specifically for trikes. Has th R on it and works like a charm.
