"WARNING" LED Windshield moulding kit
I purchased this from my dealer and was going to install myself and notice something was not right. The instructions are wrong and if you drill the hole for the wiring you will end up with a hole in your fairing.
The factory measurement is off.
I recently bought a ton of accessories and decide to let my dealer install this item. Low and behold when the job was done there was the hole just on the edge of the chrome kit. Not Good! I actually thought they would catch it before install themselves as I warned the guy at the service counter.
Long story short dealer followed the instructions to the T and I am getting a new fairing and correct light install. Luckily I have a good dealer.
One other thing this is not typical plug and play type lighting. You have to do the assembly of the wiring plugs and once you get that figured out then you plug in.

Cudos to your dealer. The mistake is unfortunate but at least they're making it good.
Glad this isn't an option I'm interested in!  |

It's the Harley light kit 57335-08. The hole ended up right at the bottom edge of the chrome light kit dead center directly below the center mounting screw.
This a a nice accessory not only for the fairing LED lights but also additional blinker lights.
Dealer has the new fairing ordered so everything will look perfect again in a few weeks. I will try to post a pic.

Thanks, appreciate the part #. Looks like yet another re-badged Kury part, huh?
