Pretty sure you have to.

 

I didn't have any reprogramming done, FWIW

 

Really? I read that if you don't, the sigs light then the brake is on, and the brake lights when the sigs are on. Guess I misread or am mistaken. Apologies for the incorrect information!

 

I read the same. I bought a complete tail harness for the new taillight, and it plugged right in. The circuit board in the HD light assy had the turn circuits, and I just pinned the wired on the Arlen Ness turns, and plugged them in. The caveat is that I do have dual element turns, that do light with the brakes but the sigs interrupt and the tail/stop work perfect

 

I read the same. I bought the complete rear tail harness, and plugged it into the HD tail. The circuit board in the tail had the pins for the turns. I used Arlen Ness LED dual element turns, and just pinned them to the board. The caveat is that they do in fact light on stop signal, but interrupt just like stock and work fine. So, you are correct, the turns do still get the stop signal. I am fine with having 3 bright *** LED stops

 

I actually bought an add on from HD to do exactly that on my old low rider - illuminate the sigs on brake. You get it for free!

If it all works, then it's all good!

Nice to know in case I ever go the full fender route. Thanks.

 

I ordered the harness that connects under the seat, and eliminates the three connector harness that runs back to the car of the fender. From what I have read, the Custom Dynamics integrated tail light comes with Y connectors so you can connect auxiliary sigs if you want. I may go with a set of strut mount Alloy Art turns at some point for increased visibility.

Either way, I hear it's like a five minute process t have the sigs / brake light reprogrammed.

 

I did the custom dynamics tail light. YES, I had to have the BCM reprogrammed. Before the reprogram both signals would like up when the brake was activated. Activating a turn signal did not affect the brake light. No, it did not take them long. And yes, the CD makes it easy if you want to add more lights. Which I may do at some point also.

 

Well, I figured I'd add an update, just in case someone else runs into the question of which part number to order. I ordered the 59500255DH vivid black fender from Boardtracker. I ended up calling them, and asked what the P/S in the 59634-06BHY description was. A little pause, then the voice said with a hint of question in their voice "pin stripe". Honestly, a pin stripe does't add up to me, but whatever. I actually think its for the plate mount hardware. So after just 5 business days, they ended up shipping my fender... Nice!

So yeah, the 59500255DH is just a simple naked, vivd black FXDL fender, with nothing more than the routing, bolt, taillight, and plate mount holes.


HDConvert511, I am curious, did tour fender come with the vertical FXDL style plate mount?

It came with no mount.

I bought the chrome HD layback mount, with chrome TS bar. Didn't dig it so I went with the GBG black layback. I need to sell the HD chrome one.
