Default Ghost brackets

Has anyone installed Ghost brackets on a Wide Glide and if so where and how did you relocate rear turn signals.

Well, I don't have a wide glide, and I don't have ghost brackets..... but if it helps, I have a FXDC with easy brackets. I'm thinking a lot of similarity there. I bought the cheesy HD single plain jane bar turn signal relocation kit, and mounted the sigs back on the fender. Works till I figure out what exactly I want to do with the rear.....

I bought BareBacks (LOVE THEM) for my '08 Wide Glide. Using some OEM Harley Bags. No turn signal relocation required. Unless you have monster bags...you should be fine without moving the turn signals. From what I understand the moving of the signals is not required on the FXDWG.

Looks like the OP's '03 is setup just a bit different. His TS is behind the rear fender bolt, so TS relocation would be necessary. I checked his album.

On late model WG's, the turn signals are at the very rear of the strut so they don't interfere with the fender bolts.

Could you just move the turn signals to the very rear of the strut cover? Maybe modify the mount just a bit, and tuck it in as far as possible.
