Default 2016 Fat Boy S rear turn signal relocation for hard bags

Just finished rough install of rear turn signals on my FB. Just have to radius the bottom edges and powder coat black. Then I will be able to install my hard bags. Not permanent, but will suffice for now until something better presents itself. Didn't like any of the options available. kuryakyn laid back license plate holder used.





Brackets still need to have back side radius cut and black powder coat



Bag placement?

Yeah, I made them out of aluminum and ran the wires though the centers and used 1 of the 3 holes which mount the plate holder to the fender to feed though to the brake light assembly. I may just eliminate them in the future in favor of hard bag filler panels with Custom Dynamics LED lights on them. It seems odd that HD and aftermarket companies do not offer more solutions to address turn signal relocation based on the demand I see? I moved mine enough times that I finally made a adapter connector so I can use my own plug connectors. Just cut the wires in the brake light assembly about 2 inches from the male plug and added my own female so I can add anything I want in the future without splicing and soldering.

Is it a pain to relocate the blinkers? Just picked up a '16 fat boy S and I need to put a quick disconnect sissy bar on for the girlfriend to be happy.

Their are at least 2 videos on YouTube they go into detail on the install on turnsignal relocation on Fatboys. I would say it's not that bad just takes a little time just like everything else on a Harley. I have the kit and will be installing it soon.

It's only a pain in that there is only enough space for the 2 wires to go through the HD relocation kit. I didn't want to splice my wires, so I pulled the pins out of the connector, but still had to cut them anyway since the pins won't pass through the relocation hollow screws. I have no problem cutting and splicing wires and heat shrinking, just didn't want to do it to my brand new bike.
