Default Taillight for 2008 Train?

I'm looking for a good aftermarket taillight that fits well under my 08 fender to install after the slam job. Any suggestions? Pictures? Thanks to all.

I have the tribar LED from the dealer. It fits nicely under there and looks great IMHO.

I agree. I just installed the HD tri-bar on my 08, and I love how it looks. Check my gallery for pics.

I installed the same on my '06 and I love the look. For a stock fender, it's the only one I've seen that really looks good.

Definitely the tri-bar, has the smoked lens and it's LED... fits nicely under the fender .... a little pricy but looks fantastic ...

I just installed the Tri bar tail light also, looks great under the fender, bright too. Installed the smoke signal covers and speedo/tachometer combo. Now if the temp would stop dropping I would be riding .

I put the Tri-Bar on my bike last year and have been VERY happy with it.
It fits better than anything else and is brighter than the standard same as every other Harley tailight.

This is what it looks like when its just "on".



And this is what it looks like with the brake "on".



The pics don't do it justice, its actually a bit brighter than it appears.
The camera'sautomatic setting dims over bright lights.

I made the "plate" up from some scrap aluminum I had laying around to back up the state issued plate because its kinda thin and with that big tire chucking rocks at it all the time I suspected that it would not survive too long if I left it unsupported somehow. Its also great for deflectingrocks and road debris fromthat expensive LED light assembly.

I gotta agree, the 3 bar led from the dealer is the best lookin taillight for these fenders. Put mine on not long ago and lovin it! Since the install I changed my blinkers to smoked lenses, much better looking now!

Chopper,
Who's headers are those on your Softail?
Do they have "any" baffles in them?
