Thanks so much for the perfect instructions! Just finished my rear fender. After I installed it, I noticed a dent in the tip of the fender, DAMN IT! I ordered it brand new, don't remember a dent, dealer said prove it came like that. Pounded it a little, can hardly notice. Love the new look. Thanks again Skeez!

 

Here is a photo of my conversion, I shaved the fender and filled in the light indentation and moved the taillight and license plate to the axel. Was really pretty easy and looks much better!

Holy crap! I don't recognize the bones underneath all that!

 

My pleasure! Glad you found the info useful. Enjoy your scoot!

 

That is exactly what I want to do with mine

 

Somehow I missed your photo when you posted it. That is a nice looking Crossbones!

 

Hey skeez, Im getting ready to do my rear fender this weekend, I had my fatboy stock tailight hole welded and smoothed over in the body shop, My bike is black ice denim (flat blue/purple) Im useing a replica 1938 to 46 beehive tailight I found on ebay. It has 3 wires, ground,running and brake I see you mentioned a circuit board in the stock bones light assm. I was going use a test light to figure out and match what wire lit what and solder and heat shrink wrap them. Also will not having the board create issue`s with the turn signals.I hope this will work I spent the extra cash having the light housing sand blasted and painted the same color as the tins (the same with the front fender light). I was laughing at your old lady purse comment but i am putting those bags on my bike (no mops LOL), I have the detachable solo rack and docking hardware on the bike now, the f/b and bones fenders have the holes pre drilled but I have to drill through the outter fender strut where the red refector is (Ive already removed the the reflectors) Any help would be great! Thanks, Doug in Maryland.

 

If you are planning on running turn signals along with the Bee Hive (great light choice) and you are ditching the circuit board then you will have to similarly splice your turn signals directly into your wiring harness the way you intend to do for your tail light. The circuit board gives the main wiring harness a place to connect and then provides individual connections for each of the rear lights. Getting rid of it is not detrimental so long as you know how to wire each light directly to the wiring harness. The wires for the tail light I believe are black, blue and orange/yellow stripe. The turn signals are both black and purple.

Why do you have to drill a hole in your strut covers? If you are just swapping a 200mm rear Fatboy fender for that of the stock Crossbones then it should be pretty much a direct swap as far as the fender struts go. What are the holes that you are drilling going to be used for?

 

Its not a fender issue, the hole`s are the same on both fenders. The 03 springer heritage bag support bracket hole`s are 6"1/4 inches apart but the holes where my solo rack docking hardware are mounted is about 9"1/4 inches apart (rear doc is right next to the turn signal reloc stem in the rear),If i hold the the saddlebag up to the bike and put the front bag bracket hole against the front dock hardware the rear bag bracket hole lines up perfectly with a hidden hole in the fender with a small inner support bracket mounted to it but the outter support cover does not have this hole on the xbones it has the skinny red reflector there, so i removed the red reflectors and no hole so I have drill it and I had to order a dock hardware W/Saddlebag kit. I will have to run two sets of docking hardware(actually one and a half) one for these bags and the other for my solo rack they share the front dock thats why one and a half. 05/07 FLSTSC outter fender support has these holes w/hex bolts in them, I know the wheel and fender are skinnier, Anyways I did`nt mean to drone on but its hard to explain. Any input Im open. Thanks for your help.

 

very nice
