Default Tri-Bar Led Tail Light

Hi guys,

I am looking to add the tri-bar led taillight to my softail custom, I love how it looks with the bobtail fender. The only thing is, it's pretty pricey like most HD accessories. Does anyone know if there are any aftermarket lights that look similar to the Harley one? I will probably end up getting the HD one anyway but I was just curious to see if there are any others out there.

If you do have the Harley light, is it a easy install?

Thanks!

Very easy install. No other light like it that I could find.

Easy install looks bad as hell. My buddy just put one on his fxstc and it looks sweet. Check ebay I saw one go for 140 with a set of struts and it looked new.

Easy install and looks awesome. Spend the extra for this part if for no other reason the fit is dead nuts.

Yea, go for it. I think it fits the shape of the finder and fills it in nicely. Got mine when it first came out, and so far so good on it holding up, rain or shine. Joker machine also makes one, check it out, but I like the factory unit better.

I got mine from the dealer and yes paid too much but felt it was worth it. I missed the one I found on ebay. It looks good and you will love it. If you have time then you can wait I'm sure one will turn up on e-bay. Try Chicago HD they have a good discount and I think there it is around $ 190.00. Good luck

I have to agree with everyone on this.
Get it.
You'll love it. (Once you get past the pain of paying for it)
Easy to install.
It's way brighter than the stock light.
It's made to fit that fender.
