Owning a 2023-2025 CVO™ Road Glide® (FLTRXSE), 2024-2026 Road Glide® (FLTRX), or 2024-2026 CVO™ Road Glide® ST (FLTRXSTSE) means riding one of the most technologically advanced touring motorcycles Harley-Davidson® has ever built.

With redesigned bodywork, premium styling, and a sophisticated electrical architecture, these motorcycles deliver exceptional performance straight from the factory. However, many riders still find opportunities to improve visibility, increase safety, and create a more personalized look through strategic lighting upgrades.

Whether you're looking to be more visible to distracted drivers, improve nighttime riding confidence, or build a fully customized touring motorcycle, this guide will walk you through the best lighting upgrades available for your 2023-2026 Road Glide and explain where to start.

Where Should You Start?

Most riders assume their first upgrade should be a new headlight.

In reality, the smartest first lighting upgrade is often improving the lights already on your motorcycle.

Magic Strobes™ Brake Light Flasher

If your goal is maximizing safety while minimizing cost, a brake light flasher should be your first consideration.

The Magic Strobes™ Brake Light Flasher enhances the visibility of your factory brake lights by adding an attention-grabbing flash pattern when the brakes are applied. The result is a more noticeable braking signal that can help alert distracted drivers behind you.

Why Riders Start Here

• Low-cost upgrade with immediate safety benefits
• Works with factory lighting
• Helps increase rear-end visibility
• Quick installation
• No need to replace existing lights
• Great foundation before investing in additional upgrades

For riders looking for the greatest safety improvement per dollar spent, this is often the best place to begin.

Upgrade What You See: Headlights & Fog Lights

Once you've addressed rear visibility, the next step is improving what you can see from the saddle.

Night riding, poor weather, rural roads, and long-distance touring all place greater demands on motorcycle lighting than most factory systems were designed to handle.

Shark Demon® LED Headlight Kits

The Shark Demon® LED Headlight Kit is one of the most impactful upgrades available for the latest generation Road Glide.

Designed specifically for these motorcycles, this system dramatically improves forward lighting performance while complementing the aggressive styling of the sharknose fairing.

Benefits

• Brighter and more effective roadway illumination
• Improved nighttime confidence
• Enhanced visibility in rain and poor weather
• Modern premium appearance

Unlike many aftermarket lighting solutions, Custom Dynamics focuses on maximizing usable light while maintaining proper functionality and compliance standards for street use.

Shark Demon® LED Fog Lights

Auxiliary LED motorcycle fog lights expand your lighting footprint and increase visibility closer to the motorcycle where standard headlights often provide less coverage.

Riders who frequently tour at night or encounter changing weather conditions often consider motorcycle fog lights one of the most valuable upgrades available.

When paired with a Shark Demon® Road Glide LED headlight system, they create a comprehensive forward lighting package that improves both performance and appearance.

Increase Front-End Visibility

Lighting upgrades aren't only about seeing better. They also help other motorists see you sooner.

Together, these upgrades help create a more complete and premium lighting package.

Build a More Visible Rear End

Rear visibility plays a critical role in motorcycle safety.

Modern drivers face more distractions than ever before, making it increasingly important for your motorcycle to stand out during braking, lane changes, and traffic congestion.

Why Road Glide Riders Choose Custom Dynamics®

The newest Road Glide platform demands more from aftermarket lighting than any generation before it.

These motorcycles feature one of the most advanced electrical systems Harley-Davidson has ever implemented, with tightly managed electrical thresholds and sophisticated BCM-controlled vehicle electronics.

Simply put, not every aftermarket lighting product is engineered to operate properly on these motorcycles.

That's why selecting the right manufacturer matters.

Designed Specifically for Harley-Davidson® Motorcycles

Custom Dynamics develops lighting products specifically for Harley-Davidson applications.

Rather than adapting universal lighting products to fit a motorcycle, Custom Dynamics engineers complete lighting solutions designed around the motorcycle itself.

This helps ensure fitment, functionality, and long-term reliability.

Engineered for Modern Vehicle Electronics

The latest Road Glide models require lighting products that operate correctly within OEM electrical specifications.

Custom Dynamics products are engineered with compatibility in mind, helping riders avoid the electrical issues, warning codes, and performance concerns that can occur when improperly designed aftermarket accessories are installed.

Whether you're installing one product or building a complete front-to-rear lighting system, every component is designed to work together as part of a cohesive solution.

True Plug-and-Play Installation

One of the most common frustrations riders encounter with aftermarket lighting is installation complexity.

Many systems require extensive wire routing, unnecessary modifications, or direct battery connections.

Custom Dynamics takes a different approach.

Whenever possible, products utilize factory-style connectors and OEM wiring locations to simplify installation. That means less time in the garage, fewer modifications to your motorcycle, and reduced installation labor costs.

For riders performing their own upgrades and local dealerships billing installation time, those savings matter.

Designed for Maximum Visibility While Maintaining Compliance

Brighter isn't always better.

Custom Dynamics focuses on creating lighting solutions that maximize usable light output while maintaining DOT-compliant functionality where applicable.

The result is lighting that improves visibility, enhances safety, and remains appropriate for street use.

For riders living in states with annual vehicle inspections, this attention to compliance can provide added peace of mind.

Backed by a Lifetime LED Warranty

Quality should last.

That's why Custom Dynamics supports its LED lighting products with a Lifetime LED Warranty, giving riders confidence that their investment will continue performing for years to come.

More Than Individual Products

Custom Dynamics doesn't simply offer a collection of motorcycle lights.

The company delivers a complete Road Glide lighting ecosystem designed to improve visibility, simplify installation, maintain compatibility, and build rider confidence from front to rear.

That's why riders across the country continue to trust Custom Dynamics when upgrading their motorcycles.
