Default heritage springer experts help needed

greetings from the touring forum. i recently purchased a front fender light off ebay and plan to put it on my 07 raod king that we are trying to make nostalgic. the light i am told is from a heritage springer. will try to attach a pic. it did not come with any mounting screws and was wondering if someone knew the correct way to attach these to the fender. harley part numbers would be very cool and location specifications would be even better. if both are not at your disposal - suggestions are appreciated.

thx - tin

I just installed the HD fender light for the FLSTS. I installed it on my Deluxe. When it came in at HD, it had no mounting hardware. The parts guy looked it up and it basically looked like plain screws. I was going to use propel nuts with chrome allen head bolts. But, I went with the domed crome allen head bolts with lock nuts. I think it looks and works well. As far as location. This is probaby personal preference. I looked at dozens of photos of Heritage springers and earlier bikes with this light. I decided I wanted my light to be level when the wheel was straight. I have seen many people put them farther forward. It may look more aggresive the farther forward you go. I dont know if this helps.

How did you handle the wiring?

since the Deluxe doesnt come with a fender light (like the heritage). i epoxied a piece of tubing from the fender light diagonally under the fender to the hole i drilled. i drilled the hole behind the tubes. it is nice and hidden. i put a little paint around the freshly drilled holes. (brush on paint for fixing chips). i put a rubber grommet in the hole ran the wiring, pluged it into the allready existing female plug under the left side of the tank. this can be easily reached without moving anything.

of course if you have a roadking, you allready have a tunnel for the wiring and you know where your plug is.

hbarleatherneck: Yep - the light is a little further forward on a factory FLSTS as you can see by this photo. The top surface is sloped downward. Yours looks parallel to the ground. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ithbags004.jpg
