Reach out to DaytonaDan

he did this with his limited, additionally relocated the license plate to under the bar because with the tourpak off the license plate looks rediculous

I did the conversion on my EG Classic and the rear is a piece of cake, and it looks much better. I also did there front and they were painful being I wanted to not splice wires and had to pull the new ones, one by one through their "conduit" heat shrink.

The rear takes all of 1/2 hour and is plug and play. I bought the Harley kit for $2 something, they are proud of it but they are everything they license.

On the rear there are 2 bolts, and 1 plug in the tail light assembly, as said, it's a piece of cake.

Lol. I don't think you can even get the O-rings from Harley for an oil change for that price. Me thinks your missing a couple of zeros.

Harley has a shorter version of same rear bar. Original is 13" and the shorter one is 10",also put bullet signals on front and back. Replaced complete front hardware assembly for passing lamps and signals. All looks great IMO.

If you have an '03 like your screen name suggests, this kit will fit. Probably what VTL was talking about.

It's an E-Glide tradition that goes back almost 50 years.

Here is my 69 FLH. Looks good, I say.

I bought the shorter Harley bar for like $60 and the 4 Harley bullet turn signals $130 and it looks allot better. I like the plate right where it is, didn't want it down lower on fender..

Here's a few pics of the Street Glide style lights on my Limited. I put these on the second day I owned the bike. If this is the look you're going for here's the part numbers for the front and rear...
HD p/n 68615-04 rear (134.95);
HD p/n 69079-04 front (58.45);
Smoked lens kit - HD p/n 69304-02 (34.15)
