That works but IMO clutters the back of the bike, hence why I'm looking to move the plate under the fender like a mud flap. This will open up some of the painted area.

Is that a camera I see above the tail light?

Don, I think  agree, but this appears to be a simple install and it would have been worth looking at, that's for sure.

Is it possible that it's too much chrome?  (don't tell d00d I asked that)
Shame, shame, shame on you!!!! :o

Not sure if I like this or not. Will have to defer comment until I see it installed. I wasn't really sold on the FLHX version because of the filler strips, but would be nice to see this application and a FLHX side by side. Only drawback I see on this is you will either cover/discard the cloisonne that I already have on my fender. :nixweiss:

Rog, you wrote earlier here that your FLXH rear housing/light was already installed.  Not having gotten it painted yet I've never even held mine up against the bike.  Have wondered, however, just what of the existing hardware has to come off to make room for its install. 

If it's convenient sometime would you shoot a pic or pics that show it from the inside (with the saddlebags off) to show what mounts where and what parts work with what parts?   I'll find out eventually.  But I'm lazy enough to ask rather drag my stuff out and hold it upside down, right side up and sideways trying to sort it all out before it's disassembled.

I'll try to check it out tomorrow.  Since Ihad it at the shop for the list of crap I was doing and the regulator recall they went ahead and slapped it on with the 3M tape method.  If it isn't buried behind too many bikes I'll get some pics, if it is buried I should have it back next Tuesday or so and get some then.

Check the original thread pics I think it may answer the question. http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=11605.0

Oh, I also ordered the light with the run/brake function.  They are currently in stock at the MoCo so I figured I'd just get it over with and do it now.

Street Glide™ Tri-Bar Light Upgrade - Auxiliary Running Light / Brake Light

Upgrade the FLHX Street Glide™ model's Original Equipment Tri-Bar fender light from a single-mode running light to a dual-mode running and brake light. The three smoked light bands glow red in the running mode, and increase in intensity when the brakes are applied.

68229-07

Fits '06-later FLHX models.

MSRP US $89.95

2Lane,
It took me less than an hour to mount this Hawg.  You will be very surprised
at how easy it is.  I recommended the 3M tape method to Rog and I have gone
about 2500 miles since my install and no problems at all.  One trip was 720 miles
from Key West to SC and it rained and was sunny and the tape is holding like
day one!  You will really like the look of it on your bike!
Have Fun,
TimBone

Thanks for the thread Tim, it does look great to me.  Also, the unit has a snap fit to the bottom of the fender that should assist with it staying without issue.

Thanks Tim.  I'm not worried about the tape at all.  That stuff holds emblems on for years in any position on a vehicle.  Holding this piece, that will also have benefit of a bolt or three top and bottom, in it's relatively shielded position behind the saddlebags isn't a bit of a worry.

How much comes off to make room for it though?  Lose what parts?

Thanks,
Don

Don, I have the impression nothing had to come off.  It sits right on top of what's there with the tape I thought.
