On my FLFB it is +- 1mm "too long" but all in all a perfect fit, I also have the same on my FXFBS but in black and they fit 100% there.








Now I just sold my FXSB and bought a FLHXS instead but took the Kodlins off befor the sale. I have now also bought a complete rear, fender , fenderstruts and licenseplateholder for the FLFB. My idea is to make the fenderstrut gloss
black and then with the 4 bolts to remove I have a completely different bike. A chrome or black fenderstrut makes a big difference in view, on the black I will then mount the black Kodlins.

Am only now doubting whether I keep the chrome struts in matte or shiny chrome..... yours are the shiny ones and stock I have the matte.

I finally got it back! I took my 2022 Fat Boy in to the shop on May 13th for the 1,000 mile break in service. I decided to add an exhaust, intake, and the Stage IV engine upgrade. Due to supply chain shenanigans, and a whole lot of drama around my Washington state motorcycle having a California VIN.. (dealer ended up replacing my factory warranty, and I went with a third party tune) I finally got it back on Thursday. Here are some pictures of the current state of things.



I sourced the OEM parts for the Canadian model to move the license plate from the side to the back.



Here are the dyno number so far. The dealer used Power Vision to do the tune . I am using the cam that came with the SE Stage IV kit. My goal is to get more power, but also maintain some sort of reliability. I may replace the cam and all the bits that would need to support it, if I can keep the system stable.

Lesson learned! Famous last words, it will only take couple of weeks!

Regarding the plate, there may be a better solution now. I was looking to move my plate to the back. None of the fender eliminator kits that we could find would work with the Fat Boy.. so we looked into the Australian and Canadian OEM parts, as they had the plate in the back. The original brake lights work, as well as this new one. A Youtube video popped up earlier this week with a 2022 Fat Boy at a California dealer. The video shows the plate on the back, and did not add the light. I have not checked into any details. Check it out here:

Thanx, I actually have the brake light just under the rear fender
Just want to add the plate below that without the other brake housing
I know there has to be something out there, plan on searching this winter

Do you have a part n° or link for that brakelight ? I have a reflector that looks almost the same but wanted to ad a extra brakelight without molesting the rear end of the bike.

@MoneyFor

Custom Dynamics makes two different LED light bars. The first one is just a Run/Brake light. The second one is a Run/Turn/Brake light.

this brake light looks promising. Uses existing holes from the reflector instead of double sided tape.

Thanks for the link, but personally I think it's quite a weird view from the side, but that could just be me .
