Migh be right about that. I just saw the 2012 FLD at Gails the part mgr called me to come look at it to see it that might be what I wanted. He said the parts catalog is due out till Fri so will have to wait some more.

 

Hey ackman,
the parts mgr at gails hd called for me to come look at the switchback they just got. he said the parts catalog should be here fri and will let me know how much it will all be. I have to say this was exactly how I have tried to get mine to look like (even bought set of hard bags that didnt fit)

 

I looked at one today, they finally got one on the floor. It's a nice bike and now there will be off the shelf parts to swap onto the older bikes. Only draw back if you want to call it that is the nacelle is the only option for headlight dressing. The bags are nice too and will be in my future plans. I'm not sure where people were getting the idea they are too small, they are smaller than the baggers but not by much and the compliment the bike nicely.

 

I thought they looked great but my street bob is under 8000 now do not really want to start payments all over again for somethng I can now do myself once the parts list hits.

 

Good plan.

 

You couldn't just pull the nacelle off and mount a regular headlight with mounting block and bolt? We need some diagrams, or someone who bought an FLD to get some good pictures of the front end and see how they did things.

 

I gotta say, your 07 FXDL is sharp.

 

It doesn't look like there are provisions for a regular headlight.

 

Hey Rick,

I noticed from images that the rear mounting brackets bolt up at mid ctrl mounting tabs but are streched forward compared to FXDP mounting brackets. Floorboards seem to be the softail type (narrow fixing points) and not the FXDP type.

I'm anxious to see how MoCo mounted them in combination with shifter and brake....would like to see some close up pics of the floorboard set-up...If you got or can get any: please post them!

 

Rene, I did not get pictures of the floor boards but I'll sneak back by and take some. It might not be until Saturday before I get back over there.
