Question Add Rear Fender Tip Light ???

Has anyone put this light on their bike that didn't have one originally? I suspect the plug in the tail light is there and it's only a matter of drilling the fender for the mounting screws and to let the wire pass?

I was going to try the LED light p/n 59685-10 on my 2012 road king.

Thanks, Joe

Another option is the LED Rear Bumper Insert by Kuryakyn #7751.It works and looks great on my 09 EG Classic.On a RK you may be required to modify the rubber bumper to fill in some gaps.There was a guy on here that installed one on his RK,I don't know what the finished install looked like.

That would be me. Its a real nice light but is better suited for bikes with the tip light. I did get it to work on my RK and so far I am happy with it. You will need to modify the rubber bumper. The first pic is what it would look like if you didn't. As you can see, the light housing is exposed. I cut the bumper just below the top groove, so the bumper seats above the light and the top rubber-bumper groove seats around the bar. I cut less then shaved off more as I went, The best way I can figure to secure the cut bumper was to epoxy the rubber bumper groove to the back side of the chrome tube. It covers the gap and looks great, but I am not sure how long it will hold.
