- Custom Dynamics no longer carries the LED turn signal boards used in this video. they had another board that would work. If you are interested in them you will need to call Custom Dynamics and check availability. Unfortunately i have not had the time to look into this or try other options.

The turn signal lights are from Custom Dynamics. They will only work if your turn signal lens has one screw that goes in from the bottom. If your turn signal lens has 2 screws that go in from the front they will not work.

Thank you for taking the time and making this video and sharing you knowledge. It was excellent and very well informative .
Hey! We need some more videos!! Lol
excellent video thank you sir
Love the video. Unfortunately I have a 98 and this conversion is a bit different. I'm pretty sure I'll still need the diode and I'll probably do the strobe brake light as well.
Good job Jim,!!!!!
Thank You. it was a lot to make the video and try to get everything right. Then i had to go back and update some items because of product changes.

Thanks for sharing
Jim can you contact me by pm on Facebook? Jason Luttrell
Nice video Jim, my 99 GL1500c has a 3 wire flasher. The flasher recommended is a two wire. Will this still work. My 2000 wiring diagram shows the same. Did your ride have a 3 wire flasher?
I used led bulbs from superbrightleds, the relay from custom dynamics. With thr motor running, both the turn signal start flashing, no matter which direction I flick the turn signal switch. The rear ones are working OK.
Any ideas?
Jim ,
Great video. I also have a 2000. For the LED cluster it asks for # I believe is for the type of plug ? Do I go with the 1157 ?
Thank you.
i cant remember which is which but i tink the front and rear are different one is 1156 and one is 1157. ill ty to confirm that.
this place has newer bards.

@@jimsgarage8698 Eagle Lights says it will fit our Valkyrie , they do not , it is for lens with 2 mounting tabs. I know because I ordered the kit and had to return it. . They apologized but they still advertise "exact fit" ? I ordered the 1157 for the front from GD . Hopefully it is correct. Take care.

@@timflemlng6789 When i did mine Custom Dynamics said the boards wouldnt fit a Valkyrie. it took several emails and a phone call to even get them to sell them to me.
i knew they would because i cross referenced different bikes on the fitment list and determined that my Valk had the same housings. afterwards i emailed custom Dynamics the link to my video. They said they were going to keep it for reference in the future.
@@jimsgarage8698 I agree. But the difference here is Eagle Lights says this kit "will fit" the 2000 Valkyrie. This kit is for a signal housing that has the 2 front facing mounting holes (ours have the single mounting screw on the bottom) . I'm a tool & die journeyman and could have spent the time to fabricate something to work but it wasn't worth it. I went with the Custom Dynamics amber/white clusters that you used because it works with the single bottom mount that the 2000 Valkyrie has.
@@timflemlng6789 there are some valks out there that have the 2 screw housings. i was not able to figure out a pattern for example certain years, or sub models.
this is why Custom Dynamics insisted that their boards would not work. they were convinced that all Valks had the 2 screw housings.
Great video. Could I put in an 1800 Lumen LED? You said the 7000 one, you have, is great, but would 1800 be pointless?
is it 1800 or 18000?
Thank you, looks great. Exactly what my gal needs...
looks like some of these parts are getting hard to find. if anyone has confirmed parts that fit please let me know and i can add them to the list of parts.
Hey Jim, thanks for the video. I was wondering if you could send me a link to the part in your video called "Custom Dynamics Gen-180-Kit-Hon?" I saw links in your description but couldn't seem to find the front and rear brake lights with white running lights and amber signals. You start talking about it at 3:15 . Please send me a link if possible or where to find it! Thanks!
Sorry for the delay I dont check this to often at this time.
They have changed their website so I'm not sure exactly where to find it. Like I point out in the video they tell people it wont for on a Valkyrie.
What I can tell you is when I ordered them I had to specify the colors when ordeting.
I would call them give them that part number. One guy actually had them look up my order and told them to send him everything I ordered.
Feel free to contact me I'll try to help as much as possible.

I have posted an updated parts list. The kir is no longer available but the parts are. I updated the list with the links and verified them with support at Custom Dynamics.

Is the diode mod still necessary for the newer LED bulbs?
They make led headlight bulbs now for 9v-12v that will plug right in so they might have turn signals too.
if you have a single turn indicator light you need the diode mod. An Interstate model for example has an indicator light for each side, it does not need a diode. if it has a single indicator used by bot left and right turn signals you need the diode.
Can you put The product links to the description
I'll see if I can do that.
Check the description I think I got them in there.
The links are to the manufacturers websites I bought everything except the Custom Dynamics kit and the Cyclops H-4 headlight through Amazon cheaper then from the manufacturer.
Here's an updated list of parts.
Custom Dynamics does not carry the kit listed in the video but I included the parts you need.

What kind of saddle bags are on your valk? They are really sharp. Also do you have any video on installing the led headlight?
Sorry for the delay, dont check here to often.
The bags are from a place on the east coast called Spiders Den. They went out of business a long time ago.
As far as the headlight goes its plug and play if your using the one in the video. Take screw out on each side of the headlight bezel, pull the bezel and unplug bulb.
Release the metal wire clip that secures the bulb put the new bulb in put the metal wire clip plug it in and reassemble
Feel free to email me if I can help.
