OK, I'm out on my Deuce yesterday. Just hit 200 miles on the odometer and the taillight pops out at 55 mph. By the time I stopped it had wrapped itself around my luggage rack. Chipped the lens and the add-on chrome cover but no damage to the paint. It takes me 20 minutes to get it to stay in. The mounting is poor to say the least, just a couple of rubber tabs holding it in. I'm going back to the dealer but I was wondering what any of you thought. Now I'm paranoid.
My seat is stock. Replacement down the road once I get this one broke in.
The rest are Harley parts also. I have the short backrest pad for Deuce. Part #51534-00 with the sissy bar upright part #51114-00. And the only rack they have for the Deuce part #53806-00. I like how it just sort of floats out over the fender.
Maybe someone knocked your tail light loose while they were installing the sissybar. Its tight quarters up under that fender. Tightening the three bolts that secure the sissybar with a ratchet will often cause slapping the tail light assembly with the ratchet end. (ask me how I know)
