Default Tri-bar LED tail light

Hi, I have an Iron with a bobtail fender. I'd like to install the tri-bar LED tail light on my bike? It's made for dyna bobtails, and there's none for sportsters...do you think it will fit? Thanks

Here's the link: http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_CA

Cool idea. I think there'd be some cutting involved. The Fat Bob fender looks wider. If it ties into the fender struts like the plastic unit on a '04 and up bobtail Sportster, you might be SOL, unless you want to fab a new backing plate/mounting bracket. I'd expect the electronics to be plug and play.
Purely speculation based on a couple FXDF Google pics.

I just got that tail light for my fat bob today. Looking at how big the mounting bracket is and even the size of the light I dont think it will fit on to a sportster fender. The bracket is 9 inches wide where it mounts inside the fender.
