But the Road Glide fender is clean for bikes '08 and older, and my friend has a vivid black one in perfect condition for sale. If interested PM me.

Just an FYI for all of the people interested in removing the rear bumper. You need to replace the bumper with the bracket found on the Road Glides that goes behind fender so it keeps everything rigid.
Your FYI is correct for '08 and older models; but, not so for '09 and newer models.

Here's what I did to my 2010 FLHTK:



I added the color matched filler strips, went to a laydown smoked LED taillight, bullet turn signals, and laydown license plate mount. Works well without the Tourpak on. The taillight has while license plate illumination in the bottom. I did smoked lenses and LED lights in the turn signals. I powder coated the taillights and license plate frame, and painted the taillight base.

I got a smoked LED fender tip light and painted it black, and I had the bumper powder coated black. It all kind of blends together and gets rid of the grandpa look to some extent.

I still like the SG fascia (and fender tip) better, but this was a pretty low cost solution that didn't require any sheet metal painting and still has an "Ultra" kind of feel IMO.

Who makes your setup?

I`m looking to clean up the rear of my FLHT.

Thanks.
Mark.

That's the look I'm after. So if I add the street glide fascia and move the plate down it may cover the holes? I'll have to check into that further.

I just removed the tourpak and rear bumper, then replaced the signal lights and brake light lens with the Streetglide unit.

The Streetglide lights come with a new tail light lens that is clear on the bottom instead of the top. It shines down on the license plate.

Very sweet! I'm stealing the idea... I just removed the rear bumper off my limited tonight and was thinking of doing this, dumb question though what year street glides came with that taillight mine was a 2011 and it didn't have it?
