I don't know.. but I am impatient. The x-arc's are bad *** though, so even on their own it's a huge difference.

I'm also waiting on Bassani to release their exhaust. Spoke to them and they said it should be released by the end of October.

How is the OEM reflector mounted under the fender? is it bolted or double sided tape?


Is it hard to get off? probably the first thing to go when I get mine...

It's stuck on with double sided tape.

well we have license plate comming off the bumper in the center, the light´s are bullet style on each side, but turn is bulb rest is led

On my fatboy the reflector had two torks head screws. A t25 took about 1 minute to remove it. Hopefully someone comes up with a light that will mount the same way!

Those x-arc signals do look really cool.

Did they just bolt straight up to the fender strut with no issues? On my 2014 Fat Bob the strut covers had small oval depressions in them that would have looked kind of weird with the cylindrical post that the x-arcs have - but the 2018 Fat Bobs don't have strut covers so I am intrigued as to how the new turn signals look.

Any chance of some close up pics?

Here are some pics. Well, best I could anyways. The front sigs I had them drill a hole in the rear instead of through the stem as I wanted to use the stock handlebar mount. Looks very clean and much brighter. My woman was up late with me helping.. she's a keeper.
