i had them installed before delivery, on my 2000 fatboy.(stock headlight tin retained) have since upgraded to 55w halogen. last year changed headlght from sealed beam to the late model hd. halogen. also added run/turn/stop module to rear signals. lighting on county roads is awsome. wired so i can run aux. lights and highbeam. you wouldnt believe the difference. no regrets here...none. hope this helps

If you had the windshield before the light bar, it won't fit after the light bar. Deer are so bad around here they extended the season this year. I could use some extra light. I did install a Flash2pass on my bike first so now all I have to do is flash my high beam twice, and up goes the garage door, and no carrying a door opener. It's pretty handy. Now, I need the light bar.

Detachable Windsheld/Light kit
I had some questions about whether the detachable windshield would fit after I got the light bar myself. I walked around a rally this past weekend looking at different fatboys with detachable windshields and the light kits. Some of the windshields seem to fit between the light kit bracket and the forks while others seemed to fit on the out side of the lights brackets??? Are there two different kits or did I just drink to many beers?? Does the standard kit come with the hardware for a windshield to fasten to??

Light kit
I ended comparing my bike with a friend who had one. The windshield mounts on the OUTSIDE of the light kit bracket so if you have an existing windshield and you get the aux light kit, get ready to but a new windshield. Anybody want to buy my old one.... A suggestion for anybody adding one. BEFORE taking your headlight apart and trying to run the aux light wire into your head light to splice in to the yellow wire (which is next to impossible), LOOK for a yellow wire with a plug coming out of the head light sitting right there for you to plug into.

What is the main difference?
If your referring to the front cover behind the headlamp you can leave the stock one if you want. I just installed that kit this summer on my 05 Fatboy and changed out the stock cover because the stock one was not chrome finished. The install is pretty straight forward.
Your feedback is appreciated. Thanking you in advance!!!!
