Default 2010+ Street Bob question
Just a quick question for the guru's on here regarding a 2010+ Street Bob tail light/turn signal setups. I am going to be going with a filled in custom painted 06 Dyna fender on my 2010 Street Bob. I noticed that when I apply the brake that the turn signals light up with the rear brake light. So since I am going to be elimating my rear tail light I am wanting to use my rear turn signals as brake lights. So if I remove the tail lamp setup do I need to purchase and install a run, brake, and turn module or does my bike already have that? I am assuming it already does but want to be 100% certain.

I would assume it does but you could always disconnect your rear til light to check if the turn signals still work as brake lights

I would try that out but my bike is at my painter at the moment so I figured I would ask to find out a def. answer. I assume they will work just fine as well without the brake light, as does the newer Wide Glide models but I don't like to assume anything.

Yes, the blinkers still function the same with the tail light removed, at least it does on my 2011.

I'm going to be doing the same thing to my street bob. When I remove the taillight does anything have to be done with the wires for the taillight or do they just need to be caped off?

Works like a dream, here is a picture of my 2006 Street Bob in it's current configuration. No tail light on fender, using turns as run, turn, brake.

That's what I was thinking about doing to mine. Removing the big *** light, and going with a plate mount like you got there. Been looking for a pic of this setup. Got anymore by chance? Thanks!
