I'm putting on a 07-09 rear Fatboy fender on my xbones and I would like to have a Tombstone tail light. Any ideas or thoughts? What fits, what doesn't. I hate going with the stock unit.
I believe if you look at the 05 and later Softail springers, the have the fatboy style rear fender with tombstone tail light. Not sure how wide this fender style is ,to accept a 200m
wide tire, but it maybe a good start and a reference point of the past being the future.

actually, no, its a way different fender. It does have the light however.
The 07' and later FB rear fender is (a) wider, and (b) shortened from the normal Heritage, Deluxe, Springer style fender.
Coyote, you can buy the fender but you will have to have it modified to remove the stock taillight mounting depression and put one in that will fit the Tombstone light. I would suggest looking for an aftermarket fender of the same general design that has an undimpled back and buy the tombstone light that will fit on it. Milwaukee Iron makes some nice ones..
Thanks for the info Yosemite. Milwaukee Iron does makes some nice ones, I'll give you that, but man are they expensive, oh well, you only live once and it's only money.
