I'm finding all these kick-*** tail lights for the 1980-1985 bob-tail fenders but the selections for the 2003 wide glide sucks,,,


would it be possible to easily modify this to work?

how easy would it be to just get one of these & choose any universal tail light to work?

The term ( easily modify ) leaves a lot of room for interpretation. I be screwed as i SUCK at body work. I have many friends however that would laugh at this and say it really simple. I guess it depends on your skill set is all. But i am sure it can be done. It just how creative are you is all.

 

this one is cool too,,

I just don't understand why this wouldn't fit an 03,, what the hect did they change?

 

The '80-85 models had a skinny rear tire compared to the '03. So the fender is probably wider on the '03. The brake light may not be wide enough and have some gaps. Would need to measure the width of the fender to be sure.

 

Made it work on my 05 but made a new bracket to attach to my strut,allso had to do some wiring . I bought some new connectors so it would be a plug in with no splices.

 

dig the under the fender look, so clean cut looking.

 

are you running a dove tail fender? that is what allt hose are set up for, yes you can make them work

 

What ever happened to making/fabricating you own parts? Measure the fender. Measure the light. Use your imagination to create a mount that is clean and fits your needs. Anything can fit anything - use your imagination and be creative.

 

The main difference is the fender width, the one you noted here I have on my '06 but it is specific to the '06-'08 model years.

 

That doesn't seem to be the American way anymore. Most bikes these days are assembled using off the shelf chrome parts. They aren't built anymore like they once were. Want a truly unique bike build it. I try to fabricate as many of my own parts as I can. I enjoy it.
