Question anybody find any LED tail light options for 2008 200mm rear tire like the TRI BAR???

I can only find the cheap looking small oem replacement style light,, and the TRI-BAR which is nice but pricey and not really what i want,, the older softails have a ton of options with the smaller rear tire fender...

thanks!!!

Think that Kuryakyn might have what your looking for. I believe the part number is 5448, but I might be wrong.

God bless!

I have the HD tri bar on mine and it really lights it up Had the Kuryakyn with the turn signial built in and you could hardley see it during the day . The HD is much better

Joker Machine makes a nice replacement light. It's even more pricey than the HD LED light though.

I have the Kuryakyn one, and the turn signals are a bit hard to see in the day light...that's why I have the Alloy Art strut turn signals. But the brake light is VERY bright. I've heard about some issues with the circuit board on these, but have personally had no issues for the last 5,000 miles. It is also nice that you can set it to do the triple flash for stop...anything to get cagers' attention!

I've got the D2Moto rear LED light on mine. It's even got an integrate turn signal in it so I can eventually remove my side turn signals. $50.

Good luck finding anything cheap. I wanted to eliminate the license plate part of the tail light piece and use an axle mounted plate holder. The only option was to Dremel the license plate part of the assy off. I'm not too good with a Dremel...so that mod will have to wait.

The only problem is...the Tri-Bar modern styling does not go with the vintage bones look....
