First impression of 2014 DLX vs. 2013 standard - Elipten_imp - 06-11-2014
Yep sorry it was late, calf. I ordered replacement pegs today so both bikes will be the same. Just got hot here in Texas, only rode 50 mile from trip to dealership to show them a scratch on the meter bezel. Parts being ordered.
I ordered the headlight modulator, brake light modulator, LED bulbs for brakes and turn signals, new foot pegs.
Now I got to dig around in my parts box for the rubber lever thingiees to boost the look.
Installed the Ridem32 valve stem covers.

I put the led taillight bulb in my first bike. I put the led in my turn signal and it would not come on. I tried several different bulbs but none worked. I know sometimes they want flash due to resistance but mine would not even lite up. Also the manual shows removing the turn signal lens by removing bottom screw then prying off the lens from top. That's wrong. Twist the lens and it will fall out. Don't pry on it

I hooked my bulbs strait to a battery and they lite up bright but don't lite up on the rear blinkers when installed
Might have to put a resistor inline.

One other thing I like on the 2014 DLX is the polished upper triple tree.
On the 2013 they are just painted top and bottom.
2014 still painted on the lower one.

You need a converter kit to make them work. Theres a bunch of them on Flea-Bay cheap.

I think I'm going to add the hyper lites to my tail lites

I really like the fender-tucked integrated turn/brake lights I've seen on some HDs like the current V-Rod Muscle. Could something like that be created with a short fender for the CB?

I like my stock taillight. I might just add the flashing hyper lites to it if I can mount them to look neat & clean. I have had them on bikes before. I got a good idea where to mount them if they will fit in the spot I got picked out
