No luck with the other models, on my end. But we have some aftermarket bracket buried in back in a box. I think I'll just fab something out of that and use some license plate bolt lights, and call it a day. Not trying to turn this into a complicated and expensive project. I just need the side mount out of the way so I can mount my XR1200 saddlebags...

I wonder if this would work on the Fat Bob.

Revzilla says it will.

Cycle Visions says only that it will fit the FLS and FXS.

Looks good, but it doesn't look like it would provide any additional mud shielding like that Sik Tail unit would.

I just ordered it but they are close out and Black was already sold out so I had to get the chrome.

Hopefully after checking the fit I’ll get it coated in something.

Got around to taking a pic of mine today - LED is tucked nicely up out of the way at the top.

Nice! I’m still waiting on my bracket to get here. It looks like you rotated your bars. I just did that as well but haven’t ridden it yet to see what it’s like.

I'm gonna try this, probably have to modify, The 10.00 plastic one I have now probably won't last.

That looks really promising! Looking forward to hearing what you may have to do to get it to fit.
