Default New tail light

I bought off of eBay because it was cheap and after the horror stories I read about the H-D one, I felt it wouldn't be worth the $250. So I spent $50 instead, if it breaks I'm only out 50.

With winter setting in I have sooo much to do on this bike. I bought the chrome front end kit, so I figured while it's apart I'd get a set of progressive springs, and while it's apart it's a good time to add H-D floating rotors and fresh pads, ohh also a good time for tires and new bearings and truing the spokes. Since the back tire will be off now is a good time for a 70 tooth pulley.

I also bought a set of 103 heads and cylinders and 204 cams, ohh and the ACRs and harness. Yeah I got a lot of work to do..........

It's the same pulley you have on your 06 70 tooth. H-D in the name of the EPA changed all 07 up bikes to 66 tooth rear pulleys making the bike seem sluggish but meeting current noise and emissions standards, I'm just restoring and may even add the 30 tooth trans pulley for even more torque.
