How a tailight taught me more than any service manual.
Great story. So Ive been on a quest on the past couple of months blacking out the chrome on my FXDB. I know I know "another blacked out dyna?! No way!" So original right? Well my ideal bike is one without alot of flash, just grit. My bike is my own. Now back to my story. So on my quest for the blacked out bobber, I found an awesome deal on a tail light on ebay. Its a blacked out tombstone replica for 20 bucks! An awesome way to get rid of the limp d*ck taillight that comes stock. When I got the tail light i was pumped to slap her on. Opened up the box and it was gorgeous two wire(pwr and ground) with a sexy finish. Took off my stock, cut the harness, and prepared to splice the new light...First problem...shiot need to get a 3 wire socket...quick trip to home depot...done...next i need to crimp and make all the wires gorgeous and watertight...done.....now lets bolt her up....oh wait...bolt patterns dont match up..FML!!! ALL THAT HARD WORK, AND BECAUSE I DIDNT MOCK IT UP BEFORE...IT WAS FOR NOTHING!! Doh ....So I had to undo it all...order another harness from Deutsch, and use a ghetto rigged prong crimp method to make a makeshift harness for the og light....So lesson learned mock it up, dont clown on the limp d*ck..because itll come back around a f* u in the end... Thanks for reading..
