Fender Lights

Fender lights: not necessarily for choppers

The front fender between the fork legs of a classic Springer fork would be kind of deserted without one of the most classic accents Harley-Davidson has to offer: a fender light. The position light on the fender appeared in the U.S. at the beginning of the 1930s, parallel at Harley-Davidson and the competition, with a white lens. Design-wise, the lights were absolutely on the cutting edge with their streamlined exterior, proving that even legal regulations can be designed to be pleasing. In the memory of bikers, these lights are associated with the Springer fork. Perhaps because Harley-Davidson's transition to the telescopic fork brought a design change in 1949 in the Hydra Glide, still streamlined but a bit stockier and with a little mohawk. Since yellow or amber position lights are the norm in the U.S., at least in some states, the Iroquois is also available in amber. For the friends of original military equipment, The Cyclery also has a blackout lamp available.

Can I equip my 1999 Heritage with a Fender Light?

Are there any rules for that? Mounting a light, sure - no problem. If you're not completely clumsy in terms of wires and crimping pliers, you can do it. The rules are more complicated. In North America, it is advisable to consult with the local authorities. In the ECE countries, white is no longer specified as the only color for position lights (yellow is also possible, and turn signal orange or amber passes as yellow), but our fender lights have no E-marks. In German-speaking countries, they can be legalized as original accessories, at least on older bikes, after consulting with local authorities.
