Talking New LED tailight on '08 FatBob
Decided I needed to add a brighter tail light.(It's quite un-nerving to be stopped at a light and hear a car skidding to a stop behind you..). This light IS brighter than stock and is an easy bolt on/plug-n-play mod. The HD directions are (for the first time since i've been doing mods) ACCURATE and EASY TO FOLLOW!!
It can be done with just a phillips screw driver. I would recommend that you have some q-tips and rubbing alcohol handy to clean out the grime you will most likely find in and around the electrical connection you will be plugging into.

Looks good. I added the same light after being smacked in the a$$ end. Also added some LED clusters in the turn signals, and turned them into RBT. Big, big difference.

Did you use the harley RBT module? Were the clusters actually plug-n-play?? Did you have to add Load equalizers?? Amber?? dual intensity??

Everything came from Custom Dynamics. LED clusters, red lenses, RBT module, and load equalizer. Truly plug and play. Piece of cake to install.

A Back-Off module wil greatly increase the attention of anyone behind you. For the $37 bucks, it's the safest mod I did.

That would work but unfortunately in Greece there will be people that wouldn't understand it in English...

Looks good Spiro
