I'm partial to the Kuryakyn Panacea taillight, I have two bikes with them and have had zero issues after several years. However there are several brands out there

 I have a Signal Dynamics flasher hooked up to the third brake light on my cage. They have them for incandescent and led for any type of vehicle.

Concur, nothing better. I have the BAL-1 (https://www.brightasslights.com/site/categories?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=1&category_id=1) on my Dyna. Plug and play, fully programmable with something like 2 dozen patterns and 3 different intensities. Made in the USA with a 5 year warranty.

It has more than paid for itself on multiple occasions, including the first ride I took after installation...

BAL, made in America with a 5 year warranty.
Had one on my 2011 RGU and put one on my new 2018 CVO Limited before I even picked it up.

I use a custom dynamics smart triple play module on my 04 Ultra. Plug n play. Makes your turn signals additional brake lights. Several different flash patterns.

Bal for me as well , Had a cage's bumper brush my pant leg as he drifted sideways past me while sitting dead stopped at a stop light one night , Sat thru 3 light cycles before i could move . The cage came to rest a good 30 feet on the other side of the intersection , facing in the opposite direction . The $350 investment in this taillight became real easy for me .
