Calling all FatBoy Lo Owners
#5991
I was looking at the rear turn signal conversion to give the rear of my bike a little more light at night, I made the mistake of haveing my girlfriend fallow behind me the other night, since I tinted my tail light she says it hard to see from a distance unless I have the brakes on

I did the same swap a several months ago and like the difference. It is not a huge difference but enough to make me comfortable riding. I was able to use all mt stock cable but had to replace the upper ABS brake line. At the time I could not find any after market ABS lines so I just bought the HD upper line for the 2012 Fatboy Lo. Had to have the ABS reset at the dealer after the install. The 2012 bar can be had for less the $125 new.

The the 2012 bars will add 1.5" to the width tip to tip, 1.5" more pullback and 3" of rise compared to the stock 2010-2011 bars. That with the addition of 6" risers you may need new throttle and clutch cables as well.

Thanks guys, I do have a set of 4 inch pullback risers laying here also. I ordered the 4 inch first, never put them on because compared to the stock risers, they weren't much different. So I ordered the 6 inch. Ill have to play with it a little. Also ordered a Mustang seat. Maybe I should just go with apes and get it over with. I like the look of the stock bars but my back cant handle it for more than an hour.

Visored ring
Hey Jim,
New to the conversation on trim rings.. If you have it, what is the part number for your visored trim ring? I got part number 69733-05 and that thing is just too big for the stock headlight on my 2010 Lo. Just sitting it around the headlight The gap at the bottom of the new visored ring almost closes together even being around the bottom tab of the original trim ring. I dont see any way it will fasten tightly. And then, even if the circumference were correct, there is about a half inch gap between the front of the headlight and the back of the new trim ring leaving a void there you could stick your index finger into.
Any help would be appreciated... from anyone!!
Thanks.
