I have a softail deluxe and I'm getting a fender bib so I can ride with the solo seat sometimes.I want to keep the bike lookingold school . Do I put on a lay down plate or leave it stock???

 

Your choice, but here is another option. Check it out @ www.softbrake.com

 

Is the below light option a simple bolt on operation or does it require mods?

 

Here ya go. It is pretty simple.

Definitely a lay down or below light option provided by oldschool54. anything looks better than the stand up stock plate.

 

thankx

 

those stockies suck...anything is better than those.

 

The first time I took my 12 year old son for a ride on my Fatboy, he was trying to dismount and was in the process of swinging his leg off and around the back of the bike. At that point, his pant cuff snagged the sharp corner of the stock plate bracket, he then lost his balance an fell completely off the back of the bike, and worse he slammed his head right off the pavement, thank friggin cripes I make the kids wear a full face helmet. He also scraped the crap out of his calf. I was so friggin pissed, I immediatelythrew that stock POS bracket in the fu$kin' trash and got a smooth, laydown bracket !!

 

I modified the stock mout to lay back. Easy to do and costs nothing.

 

I couldn't wait to get rid of that wind sail, so I went with the softbrake option.
