Default Tombstone tail light on fatboy.

I've done a little searching and found this. I'm not looking to have to modify anything so this is the option from what I've seen.

Anyone have this? Kinda curious what it looks like. I'm not sure about the license plate. Looks like it would stick straight up but I'm sure some bending could fix that.

You owe it to yourself to order a Jireh Cycles catolog:
http://www.jirehcycles.com/catalogpdf/Section%201.pdf

Section 1, page 26 - the same light you have pictured with no tag bracket. Use your existing tag mount, or a lay down.

I had one on the Shovel in my sig pic and was very pleased. Oh yeah, $49.95 for L.E.D. version, $34.95 for the standard bulb version.

Great price.

I have an 03 Fatboy. It will fit?

Pretty sure it will, and pretty sure it is made by the same company as the link you posted.

Taillight mounts were the same from '73 to at least 2003, should be an easy bolt-on mod. A used take-off from a late model Springer or Deluxe will work as well.

Default Taillight on a Fat Boy Low (Tombstone)

I'm converting a Crossbones Fat Bob fender into a Fat Boy Low.

Hated the rear fender on my new Crossbones, figured I needed a full fender to protect myself and OL when we ride in rain etc..

Besides I hated the look and loved the Fat Boy Low rear fender.

Problem is the new lighting situation. I want to run with a Tombstone Tail light, understand that because of the 200mm rear end and fender I'd have to go with the wide version. Also I plan on running with Heritage Bags now since I got the new full fender. So I need to relocate the turn signals as well.

Thing is the Fat Boy Low fender has a dimpled space for the standard Fat Boy Low taillight and I need find a work around?

Any past experiences with this?

Help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

I looked at these at one point. Never was convinced they would fit without patching the hole in the fender. I am looking at a 01 fender and the brake light hole is 2.5x4w. Doesn't look like that light will cover hole (unless path and paint). TK353 has an 07 and he doesn't have the hole like the older fender has.

Dutch,
Would this help?
I put this on my Lo it was reasonably priced, a piece of cake to install, looks good, and turn signals are out of the way of the saddlebags.

If you use B & B bubble bags you won't need to relocate the turn signals.
