Default My first post!

Hey guys this is my first post. I have a 03 fatboy that Iam customizing & I have a few questions.
1. Has anyone installed beach bars & are you happy with them?
2. I made a side mount plate holder out of diamond plate & was wondering by law does it have to have a light?( I from GA if that helps)
Thanks for any help & I am sorry if I posted this in the wrong thread.

Welcome to the group, post pics when you can....

As far as the light for license plate, I don't know for sure... Every state is different, but I imagine the idea is to make it easier for the police to read, so they might require it... Do they require a vehicle safety inspection for the state? Ask your service dept at the dealer...

Welcome Fatboy

You have to have a license light in Illinois so us Super Troopers can track you down like a dog!!!!

Have a great time on the forum and I'm sure someone else can answer the rest of your questions.
