Passing lamps question...
for a fatboy. If i buy the factory kit, is the wiring plug and play into the harness, or is it a bit complicated. My signals are on the side of the forks and would have to be taken off. IS this just a simple install. I am thinking it is, but want to make sure before I invest in the lamps...

RE: Passing lamps question...
I ordered mine for my sporty which I'm sure are real similar to the FB. I chickened out over some of the electrical work involved. I read the instructions several times and thought I could handle everything else. Wound up having it done by the dealer. I would feel more comfortable about the job now as I've done some work on the bike and have a better idea of where things are. I'm betting you can do it.

So the real question is does it have a plug in plug for the harness? I can handle shrink wrapping some wiring or taking apart connectors, no prob, just curious...

I can't answer your question Anubisss, but I can say that it makes a great difference once those passing lamps go on. I saw a tumbleweed at the last possible second to swerve away from because my headlight just wasn't giving me the side anglelighting I needed to see it. The next day I ordered the passing lamps from the dealer. I see better at night and the periphial vision is greater because it has a wider angle of light with the lamps.
You won't be sorry at all! It was one of the best investments I've made on my bike.

RE: Passing lamps question...
Put lamps on my fxdlowrider last month, went by the instructions and all went well.
Kit included a wiring harness to be mounted along the backbone from lamps to circuit breaker.
Instruction to remove tank were not needed, I could have lifted the tank and run the harness. Would suggest undoing one tank mount andlifting one at a time, front first. I (a rookie) was able replace the kit switch and that part of the harness it was a snap.
Oh ya the lamp housings are now black powder coat with chrome visor rings. http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s...ca/hd07019.jpg
