I really like that the MoCo got rid of the same light design they've been running for years with something that works better...but then again, I'm not afraid of change.
If I had an '09 or '10 Touring model, I'd sell my fender, saddlebag guards (and rails if so equipped) to reduce the cost of installing the fender/LEDs used on the '09 SE RG and '10 SE SG.
Alternatively, PM ncbeast. He installed some LED light bar product that attaches to the fascia fillers and seems to provide a lot of light.
any one install a led in existinf filler on a 2009 flhx?
Not on an '09 but I'm rebuilding my '07 SG and eliminating the tail light and turn signals. Putting LEDs in the saddlebag fillers on it and I'm sure it would be the same. Will post pics when I get it done (4-6 weeks).
You could do the lights and fascia from the CVO SG. I love the light setup on the back of mine. They are LED and bright day or night. I get a lot of comments on them from other riders. They look great and are very functional.
I'm looking at a 2010 SG, but don't like the "missing" tail light. I would prefer the safer (IMHO) option of a separate large brake light similar to the previous 09 model.
Any aftermarket options out there for adding a brake light to the fender or backs of the hardbags??
What colour is your bike? I've got a denim black 2010 FLHX and in Canada we still have the large brake light. I would be interested in trading set-ups for the fender without the brake light.
I would think that you could get a side mounted one that would hold your plate as well that would fit under your hardbag. It seems as though I've seen those particular critters somewhere...
