Thanks, I will call the local Stealer at lunch. I yanked the fender off the bike and used a dremel. it was not hard, just took a while. i really wanted to get rid of the damaged part off the very back of the fender. we will see if this was a good idea or not. i will post picks as soon as i have the majority of it done. i have a spare fender just incase this goes wrong. i would not suggest doing anything like this without a back up plan.

I used a model a tail light on mine with a vertical plate / light mount bracket. I bought everything from Ebay for like $40 shipped. FYI if you go this route model a lights have
6V bulbs you need to switch to 12V.

dirty, i am not quite sure i follow you.
stopped by the local shop today and after failing to find a module that will work with a '94, it was suggested that i go to an area farm/hardware store and pick up a tail light for a truck or trailer. this way i could fabricate a mount and save several dollars, while making something original and cool. but now that dirty has mentioned it, will there be a volt problem? has anyone tried this? any cool pics?

Read of someone doing that as well but can't remember where I seen it. If you can get it to work that way then that will be kickazz and save you some money. If not might be possible to buy the module for an 2003 model or whatever the closest year you can get and cut and splice it in to your harness? Not sure what the difference is between the 94's and 2003 but I don't think harley has changed much as far as their electrical system goes. Don't hold me to that because I am not positive but it may be possible. If you get the trailer hitch to work take some step by step pics and post em. Could help out a lot of people I'm sure.

Did some searching for whatever post I had seen with the wiring using trailer hitch but couldn't find it. I came across it one day when I wasn't looking for it but now that I am cannot find it anywhere.
