chrome license plate/light kit
I would like to add more light to the back of my 08 RK .Looked at the turn signal conversion kit but would like to keep the amber turn signals.The chrome license plate light kit 68230-97b I think is what I am looking for.Adding two extra lights to back would really help light up the rear.I have never seen one on a bike.I have done a search and seen maybe two photos.What does everyone think about this kit?Does anyone have any pictures they could post?The kit is 259.95 here but I think with the added light you can't go wrong.Thx for any help.

I had one on my 2006 FLHT and I really liked it.
The added run and brake was a big improvement to visibility from the rear and my riding buddies called it the "Christmas tree" after they rode behind me.
I really would have liked to put it on my 09 Ultra , but it's totally different where the license plate mounts.
I sold it to a forum member for a pretty good deal.
Look in the classifieds here at the forum , there may be one for sale.
For me , it was a good value even at full price.

I got one on eBay for $100 (ended up also having to buy wiring stuff from Harley) and love it. I like all the lights and also want to look like a Christmas tree. Look at Chicago Harley on line. They usually sell for 20% off and shipping is usually offset by not having to pay sales tax.
On a side note for the folks that are lighting up. What LED lights are you using for turn signals, and this lisence plate bracket? I have the run/brake/turn signal module too.

? Is light kit 68230-97 plug and play. Or did you have to splice wires. Where do the wires run? I like the look of the kit. Want to put it on my 06 FLHRC-I Road King Classic. My Bike has a TLE (sidecar) setup. I don't think it will affect it. Also thinking about the Bk run light set up 69461-06A. Thanks for any input.

I just purchased a used chrome license plate/light kit (68230-97B) on ebay, but the wires were cut, so no plug and play. Since I don't have instructions or the original connectors, how is the best way to wire this item?
The catalog description states "running lights/brake." Is it possible to wire this item for signals too, or would that be too much?

Trying to hookup 68230-97b to 05 Road King
I got this rear auxiliary bar off eBay. It interferes with the quick detach pieces for the backrest on each side, so I had an inch cut off each side of the license plate holder and now it fits. I am now trying to hook up the wiring.
I also have that kit for modifying the existing rear directionals to riding and brake lights, a module with connectors is used between the rear wiring harness and the main harness.
Given I have that kit, not sure how these lights on the auxiliary bar would hook up. The wires from the lights on this bar were cut, no connectors. Each light has 2 wires, I assume one for the riding light, and one for the turn signal/brake light. Bulbs are 2 filament 1157 type.
Any ideas ? I was thinking of getting some Y connectors but not sure how to hook up.
Thx for any and all help, Rick
Installed but not hooked up 68230-98b
