Which part is this?
I know this is a light bar from a touring model, does anyone know which model it's from? I'm looking to clean up the rear of my Street Bob and i think this looks pretty decent. I've searched around for "FL light bar" and "touring light bar" and not much coming back. Thanks!

Ha funny, i found that in a thread somewhere a while back and saved the pic. How did you mount that on there by the way? Some sort of custom job?

No photos, but it's pretty straight forward - you gotta take your time to get it right tho. Took me a couple hours and I'd never used a grinder before so if you or a buddy is handy with tools it should take you 1/2 that!!
I used an angle grinder to grind down the top corners of the back of the bracket so it sits flush with the fender. When its on, from the top it look like a door handle! I only ground down a couple of mm each side just to make it sit flush where the bolt holes are. Lots of grind and check, grind and check...
Drilled four holes in the fender, 2 for the bolts and two for the wires... The bolts will go through at an angle (they'll point towards the outside) so make them a little wider than you'd think. I put a couple rubber grommets in the holes for the wires to prevent any wear from the fender. I didnt use the bolts that came with it, the flanges were too large for a good fit on the rounded fender, instead my bud found a the same size bolt with a smaller head and we used a lock washer to keep it snug.
I didnt splice or solder anything, instead I removed the plugs properly - check your manual or do a search (there's videos showing how to it)
Oh, i put some clear nail varnish on the ground parts to stop the chrome flaking and used a couple rubber washers so that the ground surface didn't rub up against the fender.
Do a search, theres more descriptions of the same thing installation
Go slow, check often and good luck!
