Beautiful bike!! Is that a decal over your tank? Or did you paint the Matt black on it?

ret8ke, have you consider changing your tailight for a shorter one? (LED) I did on my iron and it looks way better. I'm going a different route and keeping the fender the way it is. I think i'll just drop the rear a bit and it'll look awsome. (ie: Burly suspension?)

Need more cash

Nice!!! Has it lasted so far? I may give it a go. I did some parts on my bike in black plastidip already and they have held up. I just don't know how well it would hold on the tank..

Just dont spill gaz on it.
its a pain to remove cause it will break when u peel it. and u will have to scrub it instead....

You're right. Didn't find anything on the Kuryakyn website for the 48, but i believe the tailights are the same for both bike. Bert at HD mtl could confirm this info.

Here's what i got. You can get it smoked too. It is much more shorter than the original one....and much brighter!

Not my bike, but found it on google. I believe that's the smoked one.

hey ret8ke, i just looked at my receipt and i was sure it was a kuryakyn but it is not mentioned anywhere? Here's the part number: 273135PR

I think you're right, by looking at my pic and the one i posted i dont think it is the same tailight.

Just took a picture of mine. I think mine's a bit longer?
