Curious as to what year Fatboy you have? Where did you buy your Truck-Lite Phase 7 lights? Are they the ones from Kuryakyn?

Reason for me asking is that I have a 2011 Fatboy Lo with the new Harley B-Can wiring. I had a hell of a time getting my "Headlight Trouble Indicator" light to go out after installing the 2249 light. It lasted less then 100 miles before it failed. No high or low of any kind. Tried it in a older 2002 FLH and it didn't work there either, but the FLH light worked in mine.

Long story short since I was in Florida for Bike Week I ended up having to buy the Genuine HD LED light. The guy's at Orlando HD in Kissimmee were really cool and gave me 10% off since I was a Out of Town Rider.

Waiting for word from Truck-Lite to see what happens next.

Ride Safe,

My Lo is a 2012. I got the lights from Discount Fleet Supply. They have a discount code HDLED5 that gets you an extra 5% off so it was 389 or so for the whole set including shipping. I think the kuryakyn lights are made by truck lite but mine are the actual Truck lites without any kuryakyn branding or anything. The truck-lite part number is 27270

 

Where'd you get that rack!!!???

 

Hey Fatbob is that the Commander 2 tire on the front? Is there one on the back as well?
How do they perform? I have noticed on some Google listings that they wear long but not good in the rain>? Have you tried them on wet surface and have any input on it.

 

Went for a little ride the other day.

 

"Harley Softail Black Detachable Solo Rack 53612-08"

 

They are Commander 2s and so far I really like them. They have about 7500 or so miles on them and plenty of tread left. As far as the rain goes I've had them in the rain plenty of times and haven't had any problems, at least as far as stopping and that kind of thing goes. I can't say as far as curves go since a real curve is a bit of a rarity in my part of Florida. I can't see any reason to go with anything else so far. At least for the next two years while I'm in Florida. The only other tire brand I've had was metzlers on my old Fatbob and the 180 metzler rear wore a whole lot faster then the 200 Commander has on my Lo.

 

Google is failing me right now. I am looking at the mustang wide touring seat with removable backrest for my lo. All the pics show one rear mounting tab on the back of the seat...the stock seat has 2 holes, off center... Do I have to drill another hole in the center?

 

The driver seat on a stock Lo has two ***** that keep it attached. The single mounting tab is for the rear of the passenger pillion. The front of the passenger pillion has two pieces that fit to the ***** holding the back of the drivers seat. Does that help? I don't have my stock seat anymore so I can't post pics to better illustrate what I'm talking about

 

I know that's how the stock setup is, but look at this link. The front solo seat has the single mount tab centered... Not two offset... Same as the stock passenger pillion. So I'm guessing I need to drill another hole?

I'm basing that on the mounting instruction PDF in that link. It's possible that it is just a universal picture they are using, but if you look up the part number at Dennis Kirk .com they have more pics that show 1 centered as well, vs the stock 2 off centered...
