Additional Battery
Bike is stock, these are the standard items. I hate to think of the power consumption with lots of extras. The hack will have Headlight, Tail Light, Brake Light, Turn signal and Running lights as standard hence my concern with additional items. Not sure about removing right hand lights from bike due to new lights on Hack. I would think it confusing at night to see lights so close together on bike with the extra hack lights further outside the profile?]
You need to check local laws - probably is required. Just checked my rig - signals are lit as marker lights but the right side signal only flashes on the hack. 🙂

With the width of the hack most oncomers can mistake it for a truck with one headlight out.
I don't always remove or disconnect the right hand bike turn signal lights.
With some dual filiment lamps it's hard to eliminate the extra turn signal without also removing driving lights.
I'm running all lights on my current Harley rig.Lonnie
I think you have a Dyna at this time, is that correct? On my 2004 Ultra, I had to remove the right turn signal light and use only the turn signal light on the sidecar fender. The reason I had to do so was that the turn signals run at double speed with two rear right turn signal bulbs in the circuit. IIRC, the earlier Harley sidecar manuals mentioned doing this.
I guess not all Harley wiring circuits are the same so that may explain how you can run them all.
My Dyna has a flasher that will handle all the lights without fluttering. On some other rigss I've had to replace the flasher units with a heavy duty trailer type flasher to achiave proper sequencing.
With the LED turn signals in my hard bags, there is a compensator to make them work properly with the rest of the incandescent lamps.
