I found it on their site, Thanx
Sometimes the site is a PIA, but mostly just weird searching
I did see your video before
It just never occurred to me that was JUST a reflector on the back
Supposed to check my lights before EVERY ride, my bad
Definitely like the extra turn signal on the back, more I can be noticed the better I feel
Integrated Fat Boy LED Taillight with Turn Signals for 2018-2021 FLFB/FLFBS (customdynamics.com)
Ordered, should fit in with what I want to do
Taking a last ride tomorrow then start taking things off the bike for upgrades thru the Winter
Lights, highway bars, fogs, new seat, custom derby cover, new horn, sissy bar & bag if I can find one I like

Fran's suggestion is a better option than mine. Since the turn signals are fine, I figured all I needed was the brake/running light. I didn't think about the brake/turn integration, which I should have, just about all vehicles are that way anymore.
I'm ok with the way it is (for now), I can always change it out.
I hear you Davey, I thought it was a light also. My nieghbor told me my tail light wasn't working, I checked it out, and saw it was just a reflecter.

Honestly, I would suggest their brakelight bar. No depinning or soldering needed. Just mount it, plug it in, run the wires under the fender away from the tire.
It looks great, runs as brake run, and turn signals, in concert with your bullets.
I think it's the best option for a reflector replacement now days.
If you dont trust the 3M tape on it, just add some sugru to the back of it and the fender underneath.

Dang, now I feel stupid
Kept reading people referring to the rear brake "light" as a reflector
IT IS just a reflector...stupidest thing I have ever seen...can't believe I never looked/noticed it
Now I want an actual brake light in the middle...more $$ to spend
I am working on the plate relocation to under back fender
Which brakelight bar are you referring tto ?

Its solid running, BUT...... it does what the tail light you tapped into does. I tapped into the right circuit as per instructions, the brake and turn are integrated, so if I have the right turn signal on, the new tail light is going to blink also. I don't know of any simple way to fix it. I don't think it matters, it helps being seen.
You didn't follow the instructions. They gave you the diagram and where to tap into. If I remember correctly from when I installed it, it's actually tapped into the license plate wiring under the seat. I have the same one on mine and my brothers and it works as it should. It is a running light and brake light (no directionals).
If you need help, Custom Dynamics has a great customer service, give them a call.

Monteman, thanks for posting that and straightening me out. I pulled the seat, and looked around. There was another black 3 wire connector under the one I tapped. All I had to do is move the brake wire since the other two were doing what they were supposed to. The little screw wire taps they include, made it easy to unscrew from the one wire, and screw it on another.
It all works as it should, no more blinking brake light.

Got a new tattoo and the Powervision PV3 was deliver late yesterday. Went out today, removed the FP3 tuner, installed the PV3 and flashed the new tune. I have a bit over 10,000 miles so I decided to change the spark plugs before starting the bike up. Really glad that I did, the last tune that V&H sent me fouled the crap out of my plugs. I forgot to take a picture, but they must have had it running rich. Didn't smell or act like it, but plugs don't lie. Took a quick ride in the rain and so far I like the PV3 and tune from Fuel Moto.
I also added a Viking Swing Arm bag.

I keep minimizing things on mine and making it look more and more oldschool and more chrome/silvery+gold.
You keep adding things on for creature comfort and are adding more black accent.
I'm still figuring out how to delete my USB caddy, and all that.
