LOL! Most people don't realize that Okinawa is only a 60 mile-long island, and it's 1000 miles from the rest of Japan.

Some great roads on the island though.

 

most don't realize it is such a small island, but the riding here is great. if you want crazy city riding,white lining with thousands of people per square mile, head south and beautiful twisty mountain roads just head north. and it is all on a small island. you can't really do a lot of miles here but the riding and weather is great all year.

 

Link? Never seen it before.

 

they don't make it anymore I picked it up on EBAY for $125. the pipe is the same as the SE 2 into 1 from the same era just with a different baffle.

 

So I couldn't resist. I ordered the kit last week, and GBG delivered it a couple days later. The kit comes well equipped as long as you still have all your 2013 and up FXDB stock plate/light pieces. They even included a replacement stalk for the sidemount side of the FXDB. If not, you'll have to improvise a little.

There is no question that it's a much better quality than my homemade version; however, my LP bags will not fit with the stock size FXDB light stalks. The light housing placement is too far forward and prevents the bags from mounting on the LP posts. I was up until 1 am trying different length mounts for the housings including a super short softail relo bolt kit. I even tried mounting the housings flush to the kit, but they still blocked the bags from mounting.

Luckily, I had some long stalks on hand from on of my previous attempts to make my own kit. I can still use my bags until I figure out another light option. They aren't ideal though. Besides looking like giant airplane wings on the rear end, the light housings are resting on the bag canvas. It doesn't affect the security of the bag mount since they clear the fiberglass backing, but it looks bad and I'm sure will cause some unnecessary wear of both the canvas and the powdercoat of the housings.

I'm sharing this for anyone else with LP FXDXT bags. Other bags may work just fine. The GBG folks did a nice job with the kit overall, but not being able to fit the LP bags on with it is disappointing.

 

I'm really bummed about this - I was going to order LP bags real soon...I probably still will but then I need a new lighting solution....
I thought my problems were solved.
Maybe smaller yet similar light housings so I can use the mounting location. It would be a shame to have to move the lights all together.
I'll be following your progress and posting mine when I'm finally ready to get my bags.

 

I know, it sucks. It would be so perfect if not for that. I even tried mocking up the housings with just a tiny plastic spacer, just long enough to keep them straight without rubbing on the bracket itself, and they still interfered with the bags.

Honestly though, there are much nicer options for rear sigs out there. I was just hoping to keep what I have and save a little money for other things. I think I'm gonna give the Ness Power LEDs a go. And of course if the rear Ness lights work out well, I'll have to change the front to match.

I may have a very nice set of gloss black housings, stalks, and Custom Dynamics LED inserts up in the classifieds next weekend.

 

I got a better close up of the bags on with the longer stalks. Here's how the housings "rest" on the bags.

 

I saw this on my Instagram today and thought I would stick it here

 

Been waiting to see one of these done proper. Looks great.
