Thank you for the quick response!
Did you put wire covers on the wires that are now under the fender?
I suppose you could try to get two pins for the stock connector and attach those to the custom dynamics wires, then depin and just use the stock connector. I don’t know the P/N for those connectors though.

yes, I used shrink wrap tubing for the wires under the fender. Wrapped each set individually.

When I relocated the rear signal lights, the kit came with "do it yourself" wiring. I just went out and bought a load levelling turn signal kit from CD which has the factory connectors for inlining with the existing wiring harness. They work with our existing incandescent bulbs (since there is no voltage drop, the resistor is benign). My turn signals work and flash at the correct rate and no fault code is triggered.

Cheers,

M

I am moving the stock Plate bracket on my '21 Fat Bob 114.. Does anyone know where to find the spacer for the left turn signal that replaces the license plate bracket?

If you don’t plan to sell the old bracket, it’s fairly easy with the right tools to cut and modify the bracket spacer. I did this before replacing both turn signal mounts.

I just took them out and run the signals right against the strut. Looks cleaner to me anyways.

Our original one-piece 4130 chromoly Fat Bob bracket has provisions to run the CD light frame wires thru fender and along right fender support rail. A 36” piece of heat shrink can be used to cover the CD light frame pig-tail wires nicely the full length to connector. Our bracket design works with all CD radius lighted plate frames.

Wink Fat bob oil pump plate

Originally Posted by Bowhunter8607
What year is your bike? Just curious because if it's an 18 or early 19, there's a fix for the excessive oil out of the breathers. Mine was covered under warranty and HD knows about this issue.

I had so much oil coming out of the breathers it was saturating my air cleaner and dripping all over the side of the bike. At the 1000 mile service, they suspected faulty breather valves so replaced those. 10 miles down the road the oil is puking out still.

I turned around and took it right back to them. They called HD tech services for assistance and with that found the issue. The 18's and some early 19's came with an oil pump back plate that had a seperate oring. They modified this plate with an attached seal. They also replaced the cylinders and pistons due to the amount of oil build up from sucking in a ton of that oil.

After that, not a drop of oil out of my breathers even with the oil at the full mark. Don't just put a bandaid on the issue as it's still there. You just simply rerouted the oil. It's an easy fix. Here's the upgraded oil pump back plate.

Is there a part number for this and installation instructions?
