Fixing the WORST thing about the 2024 Harley Davidson Road Glide!!

Today we fix the worst part about my 2024 Harley Davidson Road Glide...
The stock tail lights.
These Custom Dynamics tail lights are a HUGE upgrade visually and offer a much brighter presence from the rear on the road adding to safety and a stand out style!

Said this before, stock looks so much better, Custom Dynamics need to go back to the drawing board, smoke lens looks great before startup, but those lights leave way to much damage behind!

[@OffWeekGarage]

I totally get where you’re coming from and agree, if you have no intentions of changing the fender or doing some paint match stuff where you can just have the fender resprayed, I don’t recommend this route unless you’re okay with rough around the edges

[@Bagrman-kt1ot]

Don’t fool WTH the stock set up ..

[@dennis9695]

Looks like crap. Stock much more thought out

[@williamsaldanah3554]

I’m sticking with stock for now. Great video as usual!!

[@OffWeekGarage]

I get it, it’s not for everyone, the route I’m going with the bike will be trying many different things to share them all with you guys and find out what I like best along the way, thank you for the continued support!🙌

[@Mortiz350]

Nothing wrong with the oem tails. They actually look good to me. Good video though. 👍

[@OffWeekGarage]

Surprised to hear how many folks in here turn out to actually like the stocks, that’s great news though!!

[@hdryderct]

I mean they look good I just don't like how recessed they are IMO but great video none the less.

[@OffWeekGarage]

I get it, I think for me I truly wanted them because I like how the black runs all the way down through the bags, it really pops on a white bike..

[@AyeJayAlmighty]

waiting on a company to make clear lens for the stock setup because those exposed holes in the fender are a no go

[@OffWeekGarage]

I get it, unless you get the holes filled or a carbon rear fender this wouldn’t be for everyone!

[@Nucklehead-mm9gf]

I think stock looks better.

[@kevinmeehan4549]

I think the stock looks good . The aftermarket ones do look awesome. Just seems like something is missing now .

[@OffWeekGarage]

It took a few minutes for me to get used to it, I’d never go back now though..

[@brandonmartin506]

I like the stock ones

[@singletracks3002]

No way bro the stock tail lights are sick! Good vid though

[@LouisEvangelista007]

No side visibility with those lights. Way to recessed for safety reasons. If they were closer to the edge of bags they would be alot nicer. JMO. Nice job though

[@OffWeekGarage]

Thank you for the support you guys! And I agree the side angle visibility is diminished which was a bit of a concern of mine, fortunately they’re so bright they reflect off the entire bag even in bright lighting!

[@OffWeekGarage]

I think with a set of saddlebag lights these are a great option!

That turned out to be a nice clean install. I appreciate you running the wire under the seat, no need for extra connection be exposed to the elements.

[@OffWeekGarage]

Thank you for the kind words and support, means a lot and keeps me motivated to bring more fun stuff to ya’ll!🙌

[@BoDean52]

They look great and love the wiring ideas. You’re right on. Custom Dynamics does make a black piece that goes around them. That will hide the bolts as an FYI. Love what you’re doing with the channel man

[@OffWeekGarage]

Thank you for the support and for watching!🤘

[@thexnewyorker7284]

Bawawawawa I put those on mine also . I love em . I don’t like the stock ones . I replaced them on my CVO . so much cleaner . I do want the thin line ones for the back of the bags but haven’t seen them yet . Rock on man !!!!

[@OffWeekGarage]

I do believe I saw they were released, then they cancelled the release because they were not happy with some part about it, I could be mistaken though, they may be available by now!

[@ItzRazed]

Nah I’d keep stock i actually like how stock looks over those. And I would go nuts knowing that those holes are visible lol. Either way though you got a badass bike man!

[@schick211]

my identical bike will be saying stock, these lights didn't do nothing for me. but I do appreciate all your videos. you can tell you're a engineer.keep it up

[@OffWeekGarage]

I hope more options come out for folks who don’t like these but glad the stock ones do it for you, that’s definitely easiest!! Thank you for the kind words and support!🤝

[@scott_0492]

we’re all different and we all like different things, I personally think those CD lights look like an afterthought compared to the stock lights, not to mention it looks unfinished now

[@OffWeekGarage]

I agree, in its current form it definitely leaves some finishing touches required..

Thank you for watching, it’s a cool option but won’t be for everyone for sure. It’d be cool to see some other companies come out with some things!

[@victory1033]

Great to see the options on the 2024 rear, not sure which direction I'm going yet. I will say I had Custom Dynamics LEDs all over my previous SG, loved the plug-n-play and brightness. I even emailed them to try get some sportbike LEDs built (RC-51) and the customer service/tech support was on point. First brand I looked at after getting my 24 home.

[@PitbullSoco]

Never loved the stock tail light setup. Custom dynamics ftw. You may be able to find white silicone plugs for the holes. Check out their saddlebag latch lights and fork reflector lights, they're awesome and drastically up the side visibility!!

[@UnrulyRider]

Looks awesome, I'll be doing something similar once I get a 2024 RoadGlide.

[@PIGROLLER1]

Great video ! Keep it up with the information.

[@OffWeekGarage]

Thank you sir!! I certainly will!🙌

[@3percentmick705]

The stock lights look great to me. Definitely an upgrade from the past years finally. Those do sit to far in between the bags and fender too.

[@BlackJack-xz1sy]

I think it looks clean. Good Video it's all about making it your own.

[@OffWeekGarage]

Thank you for the support brother, I agree!🤜🤛

[@luisestrella2082]

Guess Taste is subjective.. I also don't mind the Stocks... I would like to Smoke them out.. And i thought they were LEDs already so not sure why the need for the resistors. I was under impression that it was needed when going from the older Incandescent lights.. I guess there is a different "power Pull" on the CD lights. Good vid as always !!

[@OffWeekGarage]

Yeah I was surprised to see a resistor was required as well for the exact reason you layed out. My only uneducated guess would be that the new stock Hd led tail lights have a resistor built in and by removing the stock tail lights the resistor needs to be replaced with this? Not sure though.. thank you for watching!!🙌

[@fredgemigniani589]

I have the same bike. I also did the Custom Dynamic Taillights. I did a very simple DYI for the holes on the fender. I Got some gorilla duck tape and covered the holes inside the fender. Then I got some white paint on the duck-taped holes looks great. Not even the same color white but because of the angle when looking at it and the small holes, you can't even tell.

[@OffWeekGarage]

Not a bad idea for a temporary or cheap and easy fix, this may definitely help someone out, thank you for sharing🙌

[@hawkot1]

Great job of showing the install. Like your detail approach with wiring. You are 100% right for doing it that way. Like to see what you will do with the fender holes.

[@jeffrobinson1184]

I agree with what you said in the beginning… They look like bug eyes… I said the same thing as soon as I saw the 2024’s came out… I originally said they looked like the eyes of a Looney Tunes cartoon character😂

[@OffWeekGarage]

They aren’t the worst thing I’ve seen but they left something to be desired for sure!!

[@theone2be33]

I love the new Hardy 2024 models in all lineups.

[@jeffrobinson1184]

Knowing you, you’re going to fabricate a piece of metal with welded studs that go through the holes… You do nice work… Could you fabricate that piece of metal and have it come down to cover the bolts And the bracket and have it powder coated black?

[@OffWeekGarage]

You will just have to stick around to find out, I have been known to do some welding and shaving on a few vehicles!😜

[@TheVeroneeLife]

Just did a the same swap on my RG. Great video bud!

[@OffWeekGarage]

Right on man, I do love the tail lights, super clean product if you can get past the holes lol

[@TheVeroneeLife]

@@OffWeekGarage I ended up plugging mine with automotive x-mas tree clips.

Well, I could’ve waited till the end 😂

Hahaha no worries my man!😅

[@seeda3473]

The stocks look great. If you don’t like them there are plenty 22’s and 23’s with low mileage for sale. Enough with the Autozone looking aftermarket electronics. Most of us buy a 2024 to look like a 2024. Most of the ones hating just can’t afford a new bike..

[@jeffreyd681]

Nice work. Love what you do, but I like the stock look.

[@GlidingThroughLife]

I have same ones on my 2012 RG Custom. Love the look and brightness!!! Looks good!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@brucem8129]

Nice job on the wiring. I dont mind the stock though. The tag is a improvement.

[@brianchamberlain2311]

Ciro 3D lights cover the ugly bolts at the bottom. I would have left the stock lights on before Custom Dynamics. R&D

[@STIFFRIDES]

🤘🏻Looking good man🤘🏻

[@justaguy5377]

The biggest problem with those is getting an inspection sticker in many states. The lights can't be recessed in that far.

[@chloelykins]

Great video!

[@OffWeekGarage]

Thanks for watching!😇🫶

[@gulley316]

Hey, it looks great! I did the same thing to my ’24 RG in Blue Burst a few weeks back. Just got back from a week-long trip to Panama City, FL, and didn’t have any problems with other drivers seeing me.

[@Bigvernsmotolife]

Very informative

[@nikkik6412]

With the deep set of the lights how visible are the brakes and blinkers to others not directly behind you? There is a video idea!! thinking highway. They do look good.

[@dwight072]

I really wish Custom Dynamics would make a new taillight that fits in the stock location. I’m not a fan of deleting the factory taillights.

[@errickkitchin36]

I like the look, but i also like having the orange color for a blinker. Maybe they can make a version of these that has oranfe lights for blinkers in between the space of the red lights.

[@joebenham690]

I'd like to see an option where you can keep the stock look, but with smoked lenses.

[@sherminl1284]

Also get the magic strobe from custom dynamics it wakes people up who are behind you

[@johnluttman6834]

What size heat shrink tube did you use I’m getting these lights for my 2024 RG and want to make sure I get the right size!

[@rollinwitzig7789]

I finally got to ride my 2024 RG Just finished my 500 miles

[@vincentjacovino9097]

I think by recessing the lights like that you limited your visibility from the sides. but you did a great job installing them running the wires.

[@jameshylander7118]

I run custom dynamics on my current bike and love them but on the 24s I would stay with the stock ones and saddlebag lights.

[@PackersFlip]

The main reason i wanted a Special and not a standard 2022, was because of the stretched bags. Now you have a bigger engine, newer bike, with standard looking bags. This thing still looks like an Indian no matter what you do to it

[@raytoal]

Like the licence plate look, but, stock lights look better

[@sherminl1284]

Ya need some bag lights sequential ones would look nice

[@curtisgreene7662]

Appreciate the video but the stock ones looks better in this case.

[@johnheaps4559]

You need to adjust your right shock as per the instructions in owners manual.

[@PreludeRacerSH]

Man idk. I get the brightness aspect but I’m iffy on the looks. I like that the turn signals are orange instead of red honestly.

[@kevinstremmel2708]

Didn’t the stock sticker out so you could see them indicating from the side, any liability of them being recessed and not viewable from side traffic? Enjoyed the video regardless.

[@careybrownfield1429]

👍 Were you able to order all the parts from Thrashin Supply in a complete kit or did you have to buy everything separate ?

[@OffWeekGarage]

@@careybrownfield1429 I ordered everything individually!!

[@neano62]

Not to go off subject here but you hooked a headset up for ur Apple CarPlay to work in an earlier video. Do you have to carry that headset with you when you ride?

[@OffWeekGarage]

Yes to use Apple CarPlay either the headset or a plug in solution to fool the bike into thinking there is a headset. I have “Tim’s Stereo Systems” fooler that plugs in under the seat so I don’t need the headset. You can find him on Facebook with that name and dm him for information and to order!

[@neano62]

@@OffWeekGarage thx man. But imo Harley needs to fix it. A lot of states helmets aren’t mandatory. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Stoopid ya carry that headset w/the speakers and mic plugged into it so the radio recognizes it or it won’t work! I’m on the waiting list at Tim’s so 👎 with the 500 headset from packtalk that came with my bike🙄

[@BeardedBavarianBiker.]

The lights are recessed too far. Now, no one can see the lights from the side, especially the turn signals. Accident waiting to happen.

[@OffWeekGarage]

I agree to an extent. First time I saw these on the new 24’s I said the same thing and thought I’d never do them. They totally grew on me though..

Looks horrible. The lights sit so far back a car driver can only see you if they are directly behind you. Are you new to baggers? The rule of thumb is more lighting so idiots in cars can see you. You just made your bike invisible from any angle. Return them. Stock looked better and is safer. Shame on CD for even making such crap. Somebody will get hurt and they will sue them and most likely win. Plus look at the damage it leaves after install. Horrible product.
