Looks sharp.

You dont get hassled for not having the reflector on there?

What did you use for the side-mount plate?

It's a Kuryakyn curved mount without the taillight. It mounts right onto the swingarm instead of the axle. I like it.

If you have a fender rack on your bobtail
and decide to go with the tribar light you will
also need a rack install kit. So add a few more $$$$$.

reflector on where? you need reflectors on your bike? I guess it depends on what state you are from.

I did the same type of setup. Use ROAD6CUSTOMS license plate bracket.

Love the taillight and I want one, however I wanted to get the run/stop/turn signals as well. Can you get the tri-bar in RED and not smoked? I'm concerned with the look of the smoked tri-bar next to red signals. Obviosly I could go with the smoked turn signals but then loose the run/stop/turn I was after. Ideas?

I thought about the same thing. You can go with the smoked lenses, and get red bulbs from J&P or Drag Specialties and not lose the run/stop feature of the signal module. I'll get around to doing mine eventually.

The H-D unit is the best fitting and looking in my opinion. The Joker machine is similar, but not as cool.

Love this light. Install was cake. Took about 30 minutes top. After looking at the abs mass of crap that I have sitting on the floor I would swear it came from a damned moped if I didnt know better.
