Default FLD front end modification

I just buy the new Dyna Swichback FLD and I'm looking for some modification on the front end. I would like to relocate the front directional flasher from the handlebar and install auxiliary light. Those parts are not yet available from Harley. Any idea where I can find those parts from jobber or is the kit from the Road King touring fit on the FLD.

Do a search on this forum. Mrnone put aux lights on his FLD and posted a thread covering it.

easy answer for this question
nothing is plug and play for the fld
only accessory available for the fld is quick detach mounts and sissy bar sideplates
at dealer last night talked to the GM he said nothing is available
so my friend you get nothing for your bike until you are willing to grind some metal or spend even bigger bucks than you would at HD.
600$ I will mail you my lights switch and harness and brackets.
would need your old blinker housings in the xchange.
plug and play!
close as you are going to get for a while.
let us know if something shows up everyone is waiting, except me.
cheers

thanks mrnone for your proposal, but I will try to found something at the dealer in Monteal
I think the front end of the Road King Custom 2007 FLHRS look like the same
so there is some kit available for the aux light and relocalisation kit for flasher
part # 69289-05 Chrome auxiliary lightting kit
part # 69227-04A Custom aux lighting bracket kit
part # 69229-04 Custom aux lamp bracket turn signal

I will stop at the HD dealer and see if those parts fit on FLD, I have all winter long to found somthing and be ready for the first ride

road king raKE IS DIFFERENT from fld even if the adjusters will adjust it will look stupid.

I have a light bar here from a touring bike the rake is crappy will be messy when installing needs welding too because the holes for quick detach is further by inches.

20 bux plus shipping and it is yours

when running crash bars you will hit them with your lights especially if you use the HD bullets 130 bux for the bullet set
good luck
no body ever going to beat the prices I paid
I paid more in bolts and nuts that I didn't use than I paid for everything I did use.
drilling holkes the length of long stainless bolts and other retarded ****.

55 bux flat all new parts only had to drill 2 holes in the brackets
god bless the swap meet and a keen eye


I am sick of measuring new bikes. went to the dealer for the first time yesterday in months without calipers in my pocket.

if you find something that fits let us all know.
we are all waiting...
well I guess I am not waiting.

The good side about having a new model is that we are riding something new but the down side of it is that the parts we need don't exist yet. Guess we'll just have to wait for Harley or a 'jobber' to modify the bikes like we want.
I am convinced that such a popular and beautiful bike will soon have a complete catalogue from Harley.
Winter.... allows us to dream about the rides, sitting in the garage while drinking wine. Not the same as you south guys.
