I couldnt get in there.
To route the cables safely on the sides of the fender to make sure it'd never get touched and would be durable... I had to take the fender off.
Well either way, jobs done haha.
It's a great rear light bar.

Where there's a will, there's a way. Mine isn't coming loose. I used 3m tape clips on the inside of my fender and ran the wires through flexible black tubing. I have both of their light bars, but used the shorter run/run light.

You can get the parts from Harley, they are on the fische here

Diagram Part #12 (73504-11) is probably the one you are looking for in the pictures, just to get the license plate light. You can see the picture a few posts above where I have the Canadian license plate mount, but the diagram part #11 (73403-11A) which has the tail light as well. You will need to source a connector as well.

That is a VERY different paint job than Rayearth haha.
I can see the similarities though.

Just registered
Picked up, in the last couple of weeks, a 2019 Softail Fatboy FLFBS 114 and absolutely love it.



Previous owner obviously had it set up for touring.
From what I can make out it has:
HD Touring Screen;
HD 16" Apehangers (right down my street );
HD Electronic Cruise Control;
Vance & Hines Eliminator 300 Slip-ons;
HD Hammock Seat with Rider Backrest;
HD Luggage Rack and Pillion Backrest.
Already got a few ideas about putting my stamp on it - watch this space!
