You can route the wire through the same whole (pop out plastic cover) where road king standard fender tip light wire goes. There is a connector inside the nacelle to use. I had to buy a connector from the dealer also. They won't ask you if you need one. Don't forget rubber grommets for the wire holes. This is a bigger job than it looks.
UPS delivered the fender light this week. It doesn't look too bad for a $15.95 light. I'll deal with putting it on next week. In the meantime, here is a video of some new Vance and Hines fishtail slip ons that were put on.

Great looking bike, Grease. What seat and rail setup are you using? Also, those are great looking bars...what are they?

Ride safe.

I thought my 1998 Road King Anniversary was already a Classic . . .

Whiskers,

Are those the Road King 1 or 2 bars from Wild one?

Thanks Whiskers,

I'm trying to decide between those bars and HD's Fat handlebar, similiar 1 1/4" bar with similiar bends from the '08 CVO RK.

Thanks for the compliment, Whiskers
That's a Cobin Hollywood solo seat with thier grab rail (accessory). The handlebars are from Wild One, they are the 518's. Between the seat and the handlebars, this bike is soooo comfortable on a long trip.
