My thoughts on it... not necessary. Just my 2 cents.
Depends on how many miles are on the bike too. But if you are doing the 107 kit and you are in there anyway. What's another 160 bucks? Could not hurt

Is that all there is to be done? Are there any other steps? Or simply grind a little away at a time until it clicks into place??? I can't use the relocation kit because I'm upgrading to the L.E.D. Stop/Tail/turn signal lights, and the 4 wires will never go through the stems with the relocation kit. Thanks in advance for any and all info!

Default Billboard removed

No more billboard on the back that acts like a tag holder. New Hogrida plate holder installed.

Bottom pic with bill board top without

I have the D2moto Led. Fathersday gift 2 years ago. Works good. Watch for them on sale and save $20 if you go with that one. http://www.d2moto.com/p-12438-harley...ake-light.aspx

There are some better on the market like Brite *** Lights and Custom Dynamics.

I had seen that one too but noticed the years for application and 2011 was not there. So I moved on. Did you have to modify to fit yours in any way?

I just think they have not updated their listing. I had no problems installing it.
