I went to Auto Zone yesterday, burnt bulb in hand, and this is what I found for a 2009-up Touring model:
REAR, bullet-shape signal lamp, with RED lens : 1157 (clear)
FRONT, bullet-shape signal lamp, with AMBER lens: 1156 (clear)
You need a dual filament in the rear because it serves as a turn signal, stop light and running light.
You need a single filament bulb up front because it only serves as turn signal and running light. WRONG
The physical bulb size/shape, alignment pins and contact points on the 1156 and 1157 bulbs match up perfectly with the OEM bulbs.
FYI, I bought the 1157LL pack because it's a long-life bulb.
Thanks, guys!

1156 has one contact point, 1157 has two.

+1, once you do LEDs you'll never look back at regular bulbs. Custom Dynamics Dyamic Ringz on the front, red clusters on the rear. On the bikes with the center brake light, the center is 1157, the turns are 1156. On the new bikes, no center light, 1157 front and rear.

Granted in this case 29 vs 27 watts isn't much, if what I have read here is correct. Otherwise I typically go for consuming more power when it comes to lights that keep me safe. My dims get me flashed once in awhile, but they kick ***.

It has been my experience Kurakyn is junk. I hope I never use them again. I gave in last time, cause they make so much cool looking junk.
I have no experience with their electrical, but have trouble believing if the simple stuff is junk, the harder stuff is not.
People know how good their customer service and warranty is because they have had to use it.
