The letter suffix means the part # has been updated & is supposedly improved, so I would get the 53246-09A. If it's a problem with fitment the actual part # would be changed.

Thanks. I've got a 53246-09 that I can get a good deal on. Hopefully the improvements aren't that substantial that would warrant another few hundred dollars.

for a new price you know to check zanotti HD?
their online price about 20% off, and they will price match. also chicago and surdyke HD do discounts online.

I think a call to dealer may be able to determine difference from 09 to 09A versions.

or if you have a photo of the 09, I used the 09A on my bike.

you will also need a wiring kit for your bike.

I believe the -09A had an change to the wiring hook ups for the lights and antenna to make it a direct "Plug and Play" set up.

Hey Jim,

here is a photo of the new license plate set up I mentioned in my PM, you can also see the detachable hardware and the antenna.
I swap around seats depending on what i am doing, the stock seat looks like a big turd with the tour pak gone. I have the Brawler ( shown) and a street glide seat.

Mike

Thanks for the PMs Mike. That looks like a good way to relocate the plate, and I currently plan to run a SG seat when the tourpak is off too.
