I am looking into adding some additional rear lights to my 2021 non tour. I have been looking at both the Goldstrike and Kuryakyn rear panel filler lights. These are both non drill, run/brake/turn signals that are plug n play with the correct wiring harness. Any thoughts/opinion's of those of you that have any of these. Worth the money? Do they work? Bright?

Thank you for everyone's input.

I haven't done an A-B comparison of the lights however I can tell you overall Goldstrike makes a better product and has a more responsive customer service.

I use Pathfinder/SoCal. They fit just above the exhaust pipes. They also look like they are factory not added on.

For those two lights...for me it is Dots (Goldstrike) vs OEM (kinda) look (Kury)....I don't like LED dots. Comes down to personal taste.

Like @iride4u, I have and prefer (for the same reasons) the Pathfinder Rear Saddlebag lights over both Goldstrike and Kury filler lights.

Also have the Goldstrike unlighted rear fender filler strips to cut down on dirt.

Probably the ones I’m gonna use too…

I don’t like the led lights that are made up of many small dots as they are very hard to see in the daylight. On some you can’t see the turn signals Or the running lights except close up.

I have it and like it. Also have the Kury fork, saddlebag, and rear brake lights.

Installed the Pathfinder Rear Saddlebag Lights about a year ago, and could not be happier. Everyone in my riding group remarks about the conspicuity, and simple good looks. SoCal product quality is outstanding. As many have remarked, Mother Honda should have installed this type light straight from the factory.

I had the Goldstrike lights installed on my 2018 DCT Tour. Not happy with them. It got some water in them causing it too short to brake light. This caused the Cruise Control to stop working.

How is the Kury during daylight? enough to be seen like the factory run/brake/turn signals? pic of the rear of your bike? thanks.

Apologies battery not connected. When back together will send you bike-on photos. Putting Polk mm522's in front and new amp in saddlebag. The panel is not as bright as the kury brake lights or honda brake lights but does the job. If choosing, recommend kury brake lights first. Much brighter. Here is the rear kury pic and pics of my speaker upgrade attempt. My first thread hijack. The Polk's much greater built quality. Hope they fit. Note I am tapping into front speaker outs directly from radio. Run those to amp. Then new 16 gauge wire from amp to polks.

The Kury brake lights you refer to are the up/down ones that are next to the license plate? They are brighter than the ones on the outside? Thank you very much for your input

 

[Georgia22]

No. Referring to the Kury brakes lights furthest from the license plate. They are much brighter than the up/down Kury lights directly behind the license plate.

Love those, BTW !!!! No regrets here.

Almost any company is more responsive the Kuryakyn.
