I'm looking for something that's flat black, preferably a bullet style. Would also like them to be larger than  1.75 in width. For the front, they need to be dual function like the Valk....run & turn. In the rear, I want them to be a three way function....run, turn, & brake. I've modified the wiring so the rear now has the blue/white and orange/white wires for run lights. I've tested the connector I installed, had to remove the pins on the OEM six pin back there and installed a nine pin to accommodate the extra wires. When you turn the key on, there's voltage to the back now for the run lights. When you hit either side turn signals the run voltage disappears and the corresponding turn sig. pin voltage starts jumping...all as it should. For now I can't complete the other half of the wiring because I don't have the lights, a good three function turn signal lamp should have three wires plus a ground. All LED is preferred. Soon as I get those lights installed and wired in I can button up the electrical aspect and then move to painting. I'd love to show up at one of our lunch rides on this thing....with the big VALKYRIE logo still on the tank.  ;)

When asked, I told my neighbor when it's all up and running the new name for the bike would be Lazarus. A good name for a literal basket case don't you think?  :cooldude:

John,

I hate to say it but I like the look of the new HD rear lights that are fitted to the Sportster and some other models they have a round red lens with a smaller amber lens within it for the indicator function and are LED BUT I expect they are stupid money. They may be something for the European market only though. If you want a photo to see what I am talking about let me know and I will get one for you.

Colin, I've seen them, don't know what the cost is but if it has HD attached to it, you're right....stupid money.
