Default Thanks for all the input

Yeah, I didn't want to do any drilling, just looking for something that was "plug & play". I sort of inherited the bike this way & thought I'd finish off the look that was already started. If I started this project from the begining I would have only done theengine mods and stripped everything else down to the bare minimum. Whenever I finish this up I'll post pics. Thanks again.

I only had to drill 2 small holes that would be covered if i returned the stock tail lamp. I have 2 other ways that dont require any drilling that i can do

A few years ago I put a long rear fender on my FXSB, wasn't s'posed to fit but, neither was the Bad Boy Springer front end, anyway I used the wide Tombstone taillight like this one from J&P. (I bought it from Jireh Cycles for less than 1/2).

Mine worked great, you could always price the one from HD for the Classic or Deluxe.

It would just like it does on the Deluxe. Go with the tombstone and the bullet turn signals.
