ebay...59 caddy reproductions. less than $50 . You have to gut your turn signals with a dremel, but I have a detailed write up with pics if you need it. The Dagmar units are way pricey and IMHO not as clean an install.

Whiskers, Bmorehomeboy, Bobros;
Any of you guys really; who put the front fender light on, couple questions.
I saved pretty much all the pics I kind find of your bikes, any close ups of the light would be nice. The big question, what size bits did ya'll use and obviously you started pilot holes, what size bits?
I picked up the Heritage Springer fender light today for a great price, but notice the wiring is rather thick. Since I have a Road King and not a Classic, most of my fender tip lamp wiring is still intact, as I changed the tip a few months ago to the Classic style, maybe I can use the original wiring instead of the thicker one.
Any suggestions, pics, etc, etc greatly appreciated as I'll be tackling this project in the next few weeks. I'm finally changing my bars and doing the chrome front in about three weeks. Also going to change out the Road King emblem for an Electra Glide one. Can't wait!

Hey guys, we upgraded wife from a 1100 metric to an 07 RKC this summer that had a whopping 1345 miles on it. Just wired in and installed some WO 508's for her this weekend. I think I will try to make her look like Whiskers scoot! (mine is the "old" high mileage 08 black, she got the white/pacific blue she fell in love with when they first came out).

Here we are, after I've been following this thread for a while... finally got some of the last few pieces installed that really make my Classic look classic to me. Thanks to all of you for the pictures, details, and inspiration!
A few notes on upgrades:
Not much left to change... my girl and I have a challenge between us to paint our bikes ourselves. Not quite decided which way to go, but I'm sure it'll be fun!
