I would have to google it again. The lights were on a website that was focused on emergency vehicle lighting. Haven't bought one yet and not sure I'm going to. I was just curious if any company made a strobe light small enough to fit on that reflector tab. Once I found one I too a look at the wiring back there and it would be fairly easy to piggyback off of one of the tail light brake circuit.

Yeah, that is an awesome deal.
I bought mine tonight. '18 in Industrial Gray Denim. I had to pay MSRP but they threw in a Daymaker and some service credits. I also bought the chopped engine guard.
Here it is in the sunset which makes it look less gray to my phone's camera. I'm picking it up tomorrow because I didn't have any of my gear with me and wasn't really expecting to buy it, but I had my checkbook in the car from buying the Ducati yesterday and had to have it..

Anyone know if you need longer cables when installing 12" apes on these bikes? I'm thinking of going that route and hoping the stock cables have enough slack in them to save a ton of money!

"WELL EXCUSE ME!"
ROFLMAO..
Your right, sounded like for a second there I was speaking to my wife, lol.
Honestly, besides a paint job (candy brandywine over black base) there isn't much more it needs..

I absolutely believe this 2018 RKS is the best riding, most comfortBle and hardest running harley I've had. That said after 2 roadkings, 3 streetglides and a fat boy lo. Roll the throttle on at 70 mph and in a spAce of seconds you are doing 100. The suspension is the best harley has made. Only wish they had included a 14" smoked windshield. But that has been added. Now it's time for a 6k-7k road trip. Lol

I was thinking of getting this windshield for my Road King. How does it perform? Does it eliminate a lot of the buffeting as advertised ?
