Default Trying to relocate turn signals, Kuryakyen kit sux

I went to go relocate the signals on my 08 Street bob.

A couple things that aren't addressed by the kit at all.

1. How the hell do you get those long bolts that are inside the housing out? The tire blocks them.
2. Assuming I got them out... what do I put there? Or am I just supposed to ride around with that big hole in my fender?
3. Where in gods name should the wiring go?? Should I drill a hole in my fender or what. Throw me a bone here kury.

Any help from you guys appreciated. I'm pretty frustrated.

Well ****. Would have been great to know that before I got it...

What is the difference in the rear between the superglide and street bob in 08? The rear ends look the same to me...

Which one should I use?

Also I don't have a bike lift so I'm not sure how I'm gonna handle this...

There's really no other choice but to jack up the bike and remove the shock bolts so you can get under the fender.
