laydown plate and rear sign. relocation?
I have the laydown license plate from HD and now I am going to install my saddle bags but I need to relocate the rear sign. lights and I read something that says you can do this but not if you have the rear laydown license plate bracket. Does anyone have any help with this. I really like the laydown plate but would like to have my bags on also.
Thanks for any help and your time to respond.

I just removed and modifed the stock license plate mount. I couldn't see spending money on something I could easily modify myself. Just some careful bending and black paint and it looks like the aftermarket ones. Works with stock turn signals too.

I'm not real impressed with the accessory availability for the Dynas' especially the Super Glides. I really didn't see any
t/s relocation kits for the '05 I liked. I originally bought throw-over saddlebags then found out I was going to need some
type of bracket on the r/h side to keep them off the rotor. I have a detachable sissy bar so my options were limited.
I went with the detachable brackets from Willie & Max. Got them and realized I had to move the t/s lamps.
It never stops, does it. I'll be glad when I can afford a bagger for my long trips and take all the crap off the Dyna and turn it back
to original bike it was.

I bought the layback lic plt frame from HD. I had to use 2001 bullet turn signal since mine is a 2000,and the threads are differant on the original light bar.I tied the wiring into the tailight under the lens ad housing. A little soldering and shrink tubing was required.

I have a Kuryakyn laydown license plate holder and I just had the turn signals totally removed last week and bought a Kuryakyn taillight with the turn signals in it. Really cleaned up the rear of the bike. The taillight/turn signals are LED with the flash function when you hit the brakes to get the attention of the cagers behind you.
I'll see if I can get some pics taken and posted shortly.

The following are some pics of my setup.
Sorry these next two are not very good pics. The first one is the turn signal in between flashes.
This next one is the right turn signal on. It is alot brighter in person. It was hard to get a picture taken at the right time.
