Maybe because they don't know what they're talking about?

Since it seems to be in question, I just went downstairs and measured them, the '10 is approx. 7.3/8" and the '15 is approx. 6.7/8", at the mounting spot, you decide.

Thank you for confirming the fit (does not) issue...much appreciated. I will move on and look for another option.

Don't know why you can't go with Kuryakyn's saddlebag extensions and their LED light that replaces the rear fender bumper.Put them on the '10 RK,and coupled with Harley's LED taillight,they throw a halo of red,4 feet in every direction around the bike. HIGH visibility. Simple plug and play with the supplied pigtails,no equalizer needed. Bag extensions are run/turn. Lower rear fender light is run/brake,same as the Harley unit. Simply connect the pigtails in tandem,and the whole setup works perfectly. Very easy to take the bags off when I wash it,take the seat off,unplug,unscrew,lift off.

Looking at the Kury website, and I don't see the rear bumper replacement light. Got a part number?

I can't tell if it will fit my 05, all the illustrations are later than my bike.
