Installed the Lumitecs TX1 tinted black mini-LED 3-1 tail/brake/indicator lights, Custom Chrome Can-bus Load Equalizer and a cheap supplementary tail/brake light
Looks way better then oem ! .. I just wouldn't be able to bother with that myself now if you were to install the TB fender within a few months from now.
I still think the 3 in1 Kodlin is the nicest combo, I have them in chrome and black on an OEM fender and struts setup for a Fat Boy,
Both of these are for sale by the way , complete with Kodlin 3in1, fenderstruts, fender and wiring with connectors so it is p&p. ( only EU shipping ! )

Agreed - they do look the business

LOL!...you've been experimenting as much as I have!
...I have 2 OEM fenders - 1. the black setup above; 2. the touring set up.
I also have, as you know, the Thunderbike setup as well.
One thing you'll notice is the position of the handlebars...
The other day I found that, on highway riding, I was sitting/forced back on the bike and getting a certain amount of discomfort from my coxis (tailbone/coccyx) after about 50 miles, so, I've pushed the bars forwards, more upright, to alter my position to sit/lean slightly forward and be sat more on my 'bum'.
Didn't get a chance to ride out and see as the weather turned
Quick update....
Tilting the bars forward has made a significant improvement to the riding position and subsequent discomfort I was having.
I'm leant forward and sat more on my bum cheeks which has made things a lot more comfortable.
However, 2 additional things I've noticed, I think the bars are @2" too tall for me and I really do not like the "knobbly" grips as they seem to exaggerate the vibration.
First point is being looked into here Changing the Bars on a 2019 FLFBS.
Second point will be rectified with these:
I did a bit more tweaking of the handlebars and then adjusted the controls, levers, mirrors and indicators.
Also removed the rear fender and started the job of testing fitting the Thunderbike rear fender albeit I ran into a problem trying to remove the cross member - well specifically the torx screw.
However, thanks to a fellow forum member with some very useful info. and advice, I'm going to give it another go tomorrow.
As we all love pics, here's a view of the bike through the garage door.
