I prefer your axle mount setup to the other swing arm setups I have run across. I just recently purchase 18 FatBoy. May I ask where you purchased the holder and part number?

The swap is simple the pain in the a$$ to me was the wiring.. Not too bad but I had a few head scratches along the way. While I was there I also changed the reflector under the fender to a light that works as the 3rd brake light. That compounded the effort..

thanks for the reply, the wiring is what has me the most worried. Is soldering involved? EricRay mentioned cutting wires, and having to slide plugs out.
