love the wheel design but not the color choice for the anniversary edition. I love the polished or chrome version of the wheels but won’t look good on a anniversary edition.

I know you can order the right standoff and use it in place of the left standoff and plate bracket, but I am wondering if you can use 2 short left standoffs for a clean and tight install. I was going to go with mini kodlin neowise, but I ride in a group and think they may be too easy to miss. Custom Dynamics inserts with short stalks would be acceptable.

Yes you can use it on the right side, If I keep the stock rear signals I allways install short mountings ... I did this on my FXFBS and FXBB, on the FLFB I installed the Kodlin's, in my opinion the best way to go.


FXFBS before and after, much cleaner look


Before and after FXBB



Kodlin FLFB


They are 3-1 and very very bright !

now I need to figure out the part number for the short stalk.

Is your bike an international model? Where did you wire the brake circuit to on the Kodlins?

My bike is a EU model that comes stock with 3 in 1 led ( signal, tail light and brake light ) so I just used the same wiring as the oem ones for the Kodlin.

This is a short mounting for the stock indicator,

so, the short one is the normal one? The longer one is the one that is different than other bikes?

All Harley's comes stock with the long version except bikes equiped with the sidemounted licenseplate, they have the short base on the left and the long on the right. All you have to do is buy another shorty for the right side and you
are done.

did your brake light wires go to your 4 wire mx1900 turn signal connectors, or did you wire both of them to the 3rd license plate connector wire?

I cant imagine putting a lowering kit on a bike.
I got a shock thats longer than my stock one by a half inch so I can get more lean angle and ride faster.
Lowering is the exact opposite.

I get AirRide suspension and sitting the bike on the ground when parked, but I don't get lowering when riding.
