I you have a great dealer. He will install it for you. First talk about future mods and that you have a problem with the Softbrake taillight. But you would had loved to buy him from him, but that it isn't a HD part.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but what have folks done to illuminate the plate with the softbrake kit? L.E.D. plate frame?

Its not that bad...As many I did mine without a jack as well. Its a tight fit, but definitely worth it.

I used two L.E.D plate bolts. I think it looks a little cleaner

I did mine on the stand, it's a pia but doable. Later I removed the rear fender to drill for the fender rail and cursed myself for not doing it that way with the softbrake.

Has anyone install this kit on a heritage? If so what did you do with the plate holder holes. I like the look of the plate lower but will have to find something to fill the holes.

Not a hard mod at all, just a bit of a tight squeeze getting to the bolts on the inside fender. Well worth the effort - you will be happy with the final result.
