Default Tail/brake light

On the Special is the frenched in light at the bottom of the rear fender a tail light and brake light or tail light only? Mine is tail light only and I'm trying to figure out if I have a problem or if this is correct, I have a new '22.

It's a tail light only, but you can change that with a Custom Dynamics replacement.

tail light only..I replaced mine with the tail / brake combo..it doesn't state it fits the Specials..RKS,RGS,SGS but it does on my 2020 RGS, plug and play no issues whatsoever since new, 2 1/2 years and 44,000 miles

another thing..mine was added before taking delivery so warranty for 5 years due to my ESP..CD are very popular and have lifetime warranty, and might even be brighter so if I had a do-over that's the route I would have gone

It looks the HD version is on back-order for 8 weeks, but they lie. I've been waiting for heated grips for my wifes new Heritage since mid January. Won't need them for a while now, it's already in the 80's here.

Strange, not sure which model grip you are waiting on but I purchased the Airflow heated grips the day I bought my bike, they were in stock at the dealer.

I recently had the HD Streamliner heated grips installed ..they were on the rack at the dealership and there were plenty of others on display..maybe a regional thing or model specific shortages..who knows..first time I ever had heated grips and I'll never go without them again!!!
