Rear signals!!
I`m looking to replace the factory rear signal lights on our `05 FXSTI.The few that I looked at say that they will only fit up to `02 models.I really like the strut mounts that Kuryakyn sells,but again,only up until`02.Whats everyone using,or are you guys keeping them stock??Thanks,Mark.

I went LED'S on all lights. All my stuff comes from www.heavycycles.com The brightest lights there are. You will be seen! Ride Safe.

Has to do with the way the rear fender mounts on the '03 and newer Softails. The '02 and older Softails had bolts with nuts inside the fender. '03 and newer use a plate with treaded inserts that go inside the struts.

Here's a link to the ones I put on my '06 FXSTI. They mount on the end of the fender struts. A little expensive but they look sweet.

You can probably make the '02 and earlier strut mount signals work by removing the bolting plate and replacing with nuts and bolts. Just be sure the studs do not go in to far as to hit the rear tire.

OK,,,I've been here since June lets see if I can figure out how to post a pic since it won' t let me attach anything when I attempt to email you.
I'll try to get a better picture of it from the side if you want it. I already had this one so I figured I'd try to post it.

Here's a couple from the side. The hardware is for the removable sissy bar. If you didn't have that they just moust on the fender strut bolt and they cover the last two holes in the strut.
