stopped in at the local Harley dealer and was interested on getting a detachable sissy bar for my 16 street bob only to find out that we have to relocate the rear turn signals for clearance. He was explaining some guys change the "neck" where the signals connect to the frame and it does the job without relocating them. Has anyone seen / done this? if so do you have the part #'s

thanks

Had mine custom made from a guy that advertises on ebay.
Purchased the brackets and had to drill, tap and paint it, but I think it was well worth it.

So I just ordered my 24" El Jefe sissy bar for my Wide Glide. Now what is the installation like? Is is a 1 beer job, 12 pack, or 30 pack kind of job. Can anyone give me a general overview of the process so I know what to expect when I get it in the mail. Thanks.
