I named the thread that because I knew that some people would have a problem with doing this to a new bike.

The signals are flush mounted in the bags which have been extended.
The brake light is also flush mounted in the BAD DAD rear fender.
I have seen a lot of Black Street Glides and wanted mine to stand out some.
I wanted you guys to see what you really have to do when you buy a rear fender shroud with a flush mounted tail light.You must cut a petty good size whole in the factory rear fender for the led light pocket and trim off the bottom of the fender.
As for the factory rear fender I have another one coming and will paint it to be able to swap out for long trips.I work in the paint and body business and did all the work myself. I did not have to cut into the factory harness at all and will be able to just unbolt and rebolt the new rear fender in about and hour.This will allow me to use my tour pack and hardware for long trips.

I will send pictures of the finished project today as it is done and working.
As for advertising for Harley the way I see it every time I ride ,it is advertised.Bike says it loud and clear on the tank in chrome letters.

LEDS FOR BAGS 85.00 EACH 170.00
REAR FEANDER 260.00
BRAKELIGHT/RUNNING LIGHT 260.00
LENS 50.00 FROM BAD DAD.

BAD DAD DOES SELL A REAR FENDER WITH THE LIGHT IN IT ALREADY FOR PAINT.
I believe it cost 850.00.
I work at a body shop so I went the cheapest way possible knowing I could do the labor myself.
