I am 6'4" and using the Accutronix 3" extended forward controls. They also just came out with the black "Night Series" that should go awesome with the low.

Tell me about it. Unless things have changed, they wouldn't stomach this crap in Texas...I lived in the Dallas area for 12 years. If you bought a new pickup truck it automatically came with a gun rack. Things are a little different there

Anybody know who sells a side mount license plate besides Kuryakyn? I'm chopping my rear fender and need to relocate the taillight and plate. Probably need advice on the turn signals too.

Default Fatboy lo backrest bar

I just finished shaving my side plates for the back rest to avoid using the turn signal relocation kit. Everything was going great until I discovered that the dealer for the second time ordered me the wrong back rest sissy bar.

Can someone who has the mid rise gloss black backrest, back rest pad and luggage rack please provide me the correct part numbers ? My dealer parts department is run by a bunch of clowns.

Thanks..

i am soooo looking forward to this chop! im about to do the same, i have the grinder and the plan but i need ***** and a license plate frame

How are you going to go about the template to cut man?

i took the strut covers off and realized i could use the stock struts without the long *** plate that covers them so, so far, i dont think im going to buy struts. what are you thinking of doing?

mfmaine...that's such bullshit. I wouldn't want it any quieter than the QQ's. Sailrider, I just bought the same setup you are looking for.
Sissy bar med/lo 54256-10
Detachable brackets 54258-10
Smooth pad 52652-04
Detachable mounting hardware will depend on whether you also adding saddle bags.
I shaved the brackets so I didn't vave to relocate the tail lights. I also bougt the magnetic covers for the detach kit. I had to modify the rears to fit on with the stock tail lights. A tapered round file, 10 minutes, and a little black paint did the trick. A little v groove in the cover.

Earl IV, check a site called Cycle Visions. They make a kit to move the floorboards forward. I'm thinking of trying it.
