Difference

I have NO idea now that you mention it. I looked on the Harley web site at the two of them. The only thing I even think I saw different were where the two lights mounted at the end of the bar. The regular one looks to have a larger "shelf" for the light to set on.

The only difference I saw was the "regular" bar is round and the "deluxe" bar looks like it's been flattened a bit (top to bottom).

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??

When I put a light bar on my Springer I found that the detach shield would not go on unless I turned the mounts on the shield around which puts the spots forward of the light bar. If you are all about looks then you probably don't want to do that but it worked for me. Have since gone to a windvest so it's not an issue anymore. Still have the big shield and if I decide to put it on for some reason, all I have to do is flip the light mounts. Only takes a couple of minutes.

I know this thread has been dead for a few years...but I do have another question for anyone who may have installed the Deluxe Aux light kit. I notice that the turn signals are relocated below the passing lamps. Is there any additional hardware/wiring kits that would be needed, or is it all part of the kit?

That kit has everything you need. There are other ways to piece it together with heritage parts, but I'd go with the deluxe kit if I ever did it again.

Can anyone help re the wiring part? is there any connections behind the front light? or will I have to run a power wire with relay to the battery?? I have the 2009 fatboy...so would have thought that the heritage and fatboy wire looms were the same...can anyone help?? thanks

I just installed the kit yesterday. For power, there is a yellow wire with a plug installed on the end already coming out of the headlight. It connects to the (kit supplied) switch, jumper wires, etc. All wires/connectors plug into existing factory harness connectors. Other than the pain of removing the tank, it's a pretty straight-forward install.
