I find it interesting, per the Harley dealer, that the light has been discontinued but still shows up on some parts catalogs. J & B Parts has a light similar but with either an eagle or indianhead on it. I'll let you know what $15.95 gets. Thanks again.

The J&P light is garbage I had to take a demel and grind the plastic lense so the 3 pieces would go together nicely and there was something about the pigtail and the rubber gasket too, can't remember. I had an 05 springer but I didn't scrutenize the light but I'm sure it was much better.

The fender light came out OK so far. It was made by Drag Specialties not bad for $15.95 + shipping (think shipping was as much as the light).
Thanks,
Rod

Quite impressive. I see I still have a long way to go with mine. I did get some fantastic ideas from all the pics though. Now all I need is lots of $$$$, but hey ain't that half the fun of it.

THANK YOU ALL!!!

So, how did the move to PA go? I guess you probably got there in time to buy a snow blower!?

Take care and ride safe.
