The part number for Road King Classic, Electra Glide Classic and Ultra Classic is 68510-74C, which has NO tag light and is the wider of the two brackets for the pancake style signals. Look on page 118, item number 21 and you'll see the difference. And, if you know your bikes, you'll easily spot H-D's typo in the fitment of models designation. Perhaps not really a typo per se', but you need to read within the "( )" where it will say HDI or domestic.

I made this swap from the regular Ultra style license/signal bracket to the FLHT/FLHR style. It IS narrower by about an inch or so. I like it better. Something to take note of; if you have a rear fender tip lamp like an Ultra (I do), the socket that powers the tag lamp is the one that powers the fender tip light. Which means, until you make some appropriate mod, you loose the fender tip lamp. I'll be buying that latest lamp from H-D that makes the fender tip lamp a run/brake lamp and when it arrives I'll be able to comment on what it takes to run that properly. For now it's just unplugged. It's a very easy swap. Hell, I did it!

For those interested, the H-D parts model breakdown;
FB = FLHR
FC = FLHTCU
FF = FLHTC
FR = FLHRC
FS = FLTR
FV = FLHT
KB = FLHX

With that, the following domestic fitment is;

68510-74C fits FC, FF & FR
68742-09 fits FB & FV

Lastly, in case it's not painfully obvious, you'll need a different tail light lens, one without the clear spot on top. The one you'll need is from a Street Glide, Road King, Road Glide or Electra Glide Standard. Hope this helps!

But, I had to post something because so many asked and it would be rude if I didn't try , right? So, out to the garage with lousy lighting and snap away as one might say. Don't let the angel of my pics throw you off if you happen to notice the license late bolts. They are not hitting, nor are they too close. It's just the angle that I shot the photo. No extra holes to drill, nothing weird. The only noteworthy item is that the socket that powered your fender light is now the one that will power your license plate light. Which means you unplug your fender light until you re-wire something (method of your choosing depending on your needs and preferences) so that both can plug into that one socket. Your original brake light lens has that clear area on top to illuminate your tag, so the lens you'll use is an OE FLHX/FLTR style. Other than that it's easy. On a more trivial note, the new assembly is a bit narrower than the Ultra set-up. Maintains the OE pancake signal look, but slims it down a bit and I feel it actually looks better.

I hope the pics of are some use. Once the bike is "finished" I'll be posting pics and you'll be able to see everything much better. Should be just a few more weeks.

p.s. if you buy the parts from H-D to do the swap, it's not cheap! $$$$$$$
