Fatbob Tri bar light.
Took an hour today and installed the tri bar tail light on my 2008 fat bob. This really cleans up the rear end look and is a simple process. I would recommend a helping hand to r and r the fender. I am thinking of a side mount for the plate, would like to go vertical but the cops say no. Thanks Dirtbag for a good buy on the light. Mike.

i did the tri bar on mine and love it . the only thing i had a problem with is that when you install L.E.D.'s and a load equalizer the rear running light doesn't work . the light is mis-wired from the factory . if you look at your stock plug and the plug on the tri bar , the running light wire for the tri bar is in the #2 spot on the plug . it needs to be in the #1 spot for it to work right . easy fix , just pop the pin out of the plug and put it back in to the correct hole . just a heads up for you guys that are thinking about L.E.D.'s

Once you move the tag, the back tire will be exposed alot more. It looks way better than having a tag blocking most of it.
Here is a link to a good tag holder. I mounted it to the bolt for the belt guard, and ran the light wire on the inside of the bar. Florida has changed the verbage in the law and now we go back to vertical.

Interesting. I didn't notice any issues after my install. Of course, I already had a load equalizer wired in for my turn signals.
I agree that it cleans the rear up nice.

if the load equilizer has an accessory output it will be fine . some do and some don't . mine just happened not to and when i took it off the light worked . called the company and they knew exactly what to do to fix it .it might just be the "plug and play " load eq's , the ones that get wired in to the turn signals alone should be fine . i should have made that clear in my first post .

Tri-bar taillight should come stock. It's that make it your own thing that sucks. The moco knows we're gonna want it. I forked out the dough for the light myself. Looks good with the candy red sunglo paint.
