I do like this set up! But i dont think i have as much fender as u. I like to tie up stuff in the back when im 2uping. Dont want to get pulled over for covering up the fender. Already got a ticket for going 74 in a 55 lol. But that was in a car. I always seem to stay out of trouble on the bike but when im in the car the chances of tickets always goes up

So I decided on the great bike gear relocation kit. It's the best cleanest option in my opinion.
I really like these rear turn signal lights! If I could put these with that relocation kit that would be so awesome! Think it would look so clean. But I can't pay 200 and something now just for lights. Not right now anyways.
Anyways I have read a nice detailed post on installing the relocation from this forum. And the wired for the lights were somewhat of an issue. The wires from under the seat to the lights get a little to short for liking. Not enough play. So I was thinking if i put smaller stand offs on it'd kind of help with the issue.?
Where could I purchase these smaller stand offs from?
I found these from drag specialist but I'm not to sure if they will work with the stock bullets or mount ok with the license plate.

Now thats pretty damn clean! If i had seen this before i purchased the great bike gear relocation kit i would of concidered this one too! But its ordered and here. Its a nice product. Just waiting for my days off to do it. Paint the standoffs and bullet lights black. Soder and shrink wrap the led license lighting. Add the burley tall sissy bar. Might just make a youtube video to help others out.
Well i got it all together with the great bike gear relocation kit. Im pretty happy with it! I chose the relocation w the led light for the license plate and i feel like it makes me more visable
So the kit provided 4 bolts w nylon nuts to secure it to the back fender. Oh, and a tear drop cover to cover that hole where the wires would go through, so the bolt can be tightened in its place. Are these nuts strong enough to stay in place and hold those bolts in black and most in importantly, hold the fender in place?
But i only used 2 out of the 4 bolts because the sissy bar needed to be attatched as well. The sissy bar provided 2 inch bolts to pass all the way through but they also provided those nylon nuts. In the picture above u can see the sissy bolt and underneath it the relocation bolt. I just want to make sure its going to hold w out any issues. I did use blue med loc tight. And also if i was to remove the nut for whatever reason and reuse it, will it lose its locking strength? And this was inside the fender to hold the wires in place. It has lost its adhesivness. What is it called? I want to get some more to make sure the wires r secure. And one more question. Lol. Do you guys put dialectrical grease in the connectors themselves to create a waterproof seal?
Nylock nuts are technically single-use, but I usually cheat and reuse them at least once. Kinda depends on how critical it is. Tho, typically I don't trust Nylock in critical applicarions anyway.
Loctite is definitely single-use. It must reapplied with every fastener reuse. The threads should be cleaned before repplication.
I can't comment on the strength of your pictured fasteners. Fender bolts should grade 5, I believe. Google bolt grade identification to see what you have.
That tape APPEARS to be a typical foil faced duct sealing tape available at any home center. That seems kinda hinky to me. If it IS a factory item, the dealer should have the right stuff. My fender had steel clips. Any time you use adhesive the mating surfaces must be clean and oil free to work properly.
I, personally, do use an electrical contact protectant on most things. It may not be strictly necessary but I live in the rust belt and it does seem to help longevity and reliability.

Do you mean the one light mounted on the back of the fender? But i have already installed the relocation kit and im happy with it so ill run with that. Unless i get tired of it someday.
But yes i would like a picture. Im more fond of pictures besides it bei g described. Thats why i post alot of pictures when i make a post.
I see. I'll just have to buy new nylon nuts to put them on if i remove the bolts again. Which i think i will have to. There needs to be washers inbetween the sissy bar and fender strut. It says to use the stock ones but they are snug tight on the top of the bolt so taking them off aint working. And i did not think to ever wash the bolt when reapplying loc tight. Nice tip.
so if you dont trust nylon nuts, what do you recommend? Should i just get a regular metal nut? Because im weary about leaving them on myself. I remember using these type of nuts on my skateboards. But wouldnt trust them to hold a fender.
the tape was already in plave under my fender. Bought my bike brand new from the dealer and thats what they had used. I do have that metal bracked on the inside but it has plastice clips on the inside also attatched to it where the wires are held down. Then that tape went off that plastic piece and on the inside of the fender.
i was debating whether to use dialectrical grease on the connectors under the seat. But i wasnt sure if it would ruin anything. But now i know. Thanks.
