You should have the ability to use something like the custom dynamics rear harness to get turn and brake.

That is what I am using. XkGlow for the LEDs, Custom Dynamics Triple Play for the brakes and Custom Dynamics Isolator for the floorboard running/turn LEDs.

FWIW, I have the phone app to control the Xk lights and it is kind of a PITA. If I were redoing this I would just go with the fob controller. The fob doesn't match dancing lights to ZZ Top, but it is a simple device.

I wish I could upload a video clip of my blinkers in action. They get all sorts of compliments.

How did you do the floorboard turn / brake? Is that a plasmarod?

The local independent shop did it. He does better work than me.
Yes, he wired in a LED strip (it looks like a Plasma Rod) that is running light/blinker. Ran them though some relays so they are ON (running lights) then OFF when the turn signals come on. Opposite cycle of the turn signals. I would have done something more vanilla and never thought of setting up that circuit.

Try this link for a video.

He is doing my wife's Chieftain this week. I suspect hers will look nicer.
She is getting some Plasma Rods on the rear between the saddle bags and fender.

Can you get what product he's using at the floorboards? I've been wanting to do something like that but don't want to do full underglows.

Have you checked out Custom Dynamics Motorcycle LED Lights

 

[TechRider]

Yes, I have a bunch of their stuff on my bike. I hadn't seen anything like that on the floorboards before.

@TechRider Will do.

He did something similar on my Vision almost 10 years ago. The red and yellow strips are not part of the ground effects package. They were just tied into the blinkers.

is the light inside the floorboard pan or on the outside edge? Is it a plasma tube?

Inside the pan. Pop off the floormat and glued to the bottom of the mat. The one on my RM is flexible. I reached out to the bike shop to see if it is a Plasma Rod. I suspect it is as they push Custom Dynamics products.
But, I will verify.

thanks, i suspected it was installed in the pan. I'll also guess its a plasma rod.

There is plenty of room to get a light strip into the pan. Below, you can it peeking out.
I later installed a fringe kit and Kuryakyn spear floorboards. It was easy to razor blade off the led strip and glue it to the new floorboard using RTV.

Above, same photo with LED on.

There is plenty of room if you install a fringe kit.

@msklein I see you are in Houston. Biker's Bay in Clute did the work.

I bet it's a dual color TruFlex. They look like they're just under $100 each to get run/brake/turn.

No. Here is his response.

I used Radiantz amber LED tubes 12".

The Radiantz lights are no longer available in the same density as the ones you have. Yours are 60 LED's /foot, the only ones now are 24/foot. Do you still want them? They are less expensive.

 

[mlcgcf]

Just purchased a kit from xwglow and curios as to what they will look like. Anybody else have led lights around the bike?

I did the Custom Dynamics Magical Wizards kit. Wondering now why I entertained the idea of it all in the first place...

 

[Wharf Rat]

No. See my previous post. They are from Radiantz. When I asked why Radiantz and not Plasmas, he said the Radiantz strips were flexible and encased inside a plastic tube and he had never had trouble with them.

Is installing the under glow lights easy? and does anyone have a video of how to plug in all the wiring to the battery or do the instructions that come with the kit explain it properly?
This is my first time doing something like this!!
