I have an '03 Heritage Softail Classic that I have slowly been customizing. I am in Baghdad, Iraq and can't be at shows and rallies to find a better brake light/trun signal/tag holder for my bike. I don't want a side mount because I can't fill the holes in the rear fender. I would love any input you have on a OEM part that will streamline the look. I think you will see what I am talking about in the pics. Thanks and god bless!!! RIDE ON!!!!!!!!!

I'll attempt to post the pic of what I did to my 06 Heritage. Had the same set up as you. The lightbar is factory. Both the laydown taillight and plate mount came from JP cycle. I've posted the part numbers here before. I'll dig them out for you.

Be safe over there and thanks for serving!

 

All your answers are in one place. Check out this thread: HomeMade Laydown

A forum member named HOGRIDA_06 makes these incredible low-angle lay down brackets (that do NOT touch the fender) and use existing 3-hole location. On that link you can see plug 'n play LED replacement taillight and assorted turn signal options. There are some nice bikes (& variety) throughout that thread.

I have ordered one of these brackets for my Fatboy, and have already installed a smoked/chrome replacement taillight from HD. I can't wait to get my bracket.

Our softail brother 1of2 has this bracket already and pointed me to HOGRIDA_06.

Plus, how can you beat $20 (shipping already included)?


Oh hell, I almost forgot....my bad.....THANKS FOR SERVING! I'm an old Vietnam guy, I know a lot of your sacrifice goes by unnoticed. But there reallyARE a bunch of Americans who are proud of you and sleep better at night BECAUSE of you.
