Question Tail Light for 2012 Street Bob FXDB
Gentlemen,

I was wondering if anyone out there has any suggestions for tail light replacements for a 2012 FXDB.

Buddy of mine just picked up a StreetBob and can’t turn a wrench to save his life. I've been working on his scoot and can’t get over the tail light and how it looks like a giant chrome donkey d1ck.

Checked Kury, Bright *** lights ect... And can’t come to a reasonable solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Aj

some love it , some hate it. you could swap out an FXDC rear fender and run the stock tail light if the light bothers you , or you could swap out a side plate mounted light.

Several people have done away with it all together. Just use the two turn sigs as brakelights and use side mount license. Just an idea.

It's a modern update of the sparto taillight. The sparto was popular in the late 40's and 50's on custom bikes. The slang name for it was "limp dick taillight."

I totally agree about looking like a Donkey D1ck... I agree with Robbie13 about getting rid of it all together. I actually want to do that to my 2007 Bob.. So, Robbie13 what system you using to do that? Any input would be cool!

I know this is an old post, but wanted to see what you went with for your buddy's 2012 StreetBob? I just started in to looking in to changing mine out and wanted to go the route of the BrightAssLights or some other strobing tail light so am researching it now.
