Relocation SUCKS
 
Is there a relocation kit for rear turn signals that look like The Deluxe's??
I have the constant Dynas' problem: I need saddlebags and whichever i like they need easybrackets or (at least) Support ALONG with relocation of rear turn signals...
I need detachable passenger's backrest (not having to carry always this pile of iron) AND OF COURSE it needs relocation of rear turn signals...
I imagine genuine HD kit is cheap, but to me it looks awful!!
I checked Kuryakyn's site and they have a sweet kit for the tourings!A Deluxe's look alike kit!!
Is there a reason why it wouldn't fit a Dyna?
There is the solution of a Bobtail fender with the longer struts but besides the money part... i have An FXDC...i don't want it to be a Fatbob wannabe!
Help Guys!!

Here's what I did and several people on the forum have. It was easy to do!! Bought a street glide light bar off of ebay. Grinded the mounting points down till it was flush with my fender. drilled some holes and there you have it.

Oh yea I got the detachable hardware there also, just waiting on some button head bolts to look better. And the reason it won't fit on a Dyna fender is the Deluxe, SG, etc have indents on their fender for the mounting points. Since the Dyna doesn't it doesn sit flush and you'll have a weird gap at the bolts, which is why you grind down the light bar a bit. I used a bench grinder.

So either a Street Glide or Softtail Deluxe rear light bar will work? Any particular year? I have a 2007 FXDC and love this light bar.

Not sure because I don't know what year they changed styles. When I bought mine I just looked for the one I've seen on other bikes on the forum and bought it. Kind of winged it. I know there's a SG one that is kind of a square style. I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I didn't see it on any Dyna's so I went with the one I have on. They said it came off of a SG.

I just got my turn sigs back from Joe (Thats Joe, the powder looks GREAT!). I'll be mounting mine directly to the fender on a 1/4 inch spacer. Should look like those posted above but without the bar under the brake light. I'll post up a pic when I get it done.

What means: "till it was flush with my fender"??

He ground it down a bit because the contour of the fender is different than the FL . so at the point where the bar touches the rear fender , he altered the angle and shape a bit so they met flush .
