Tail light removal 2007 FXDB Street Bob
Ugh, appologize for botched title, I meant turn signal light
I bought a drag specialties saddlebag support brace kit. It says for my model the forward bolt goes in the first fender bracket bolt (not to the shock) and for the rear mount bolt I have to disconnect the turn signal light and mount a hollow bolt there to accommodate. I can't see how I will be able to install this bracket with my turn light assembly. Before I send it back to Dennis Kirk I thought I would try to find out what the deal is. It "says" it will fit an 07 street bob? Anyone deal with this before ?
Later Update:
I don't see any way I'm putting this on my bike. I'm taking off the throw over bags that came with the bike that hang against the swing arm and rub the paint down to bare metal and muck up the shocks and chrome fender bracket. I'm selling the bags to someone that has a bike condusive to throw overs and I'm looking for some "correct" mounted bags for my model dyna. A friend of mine just told me throw overs will not work well with my bike model and I need quick release fender bracket mounted stiff bags. What are you guys using on your Dynas ?

Saddlebag supports
Send it back! This won't work without the HD rear turn signal relocation kit. Better to find a saddlebag support bracket that dose not require mounting to the rear fender support bolt but instead mounts to the shock bolt and projects to the rear to support the saddlebag. I've seen this set up somewhere (Ebay, J&P, Dennis Kirk) but can't put my finger on it.

Thanks to all replies, I have decided to buy the HD rear turn signal relocator kit for 79 bucks. I will need this no matter what bags I get (except a few) and this will allow me to utilize the parts I have and current throwover bags until I can afford better standard mount bags with locks. Then I will sell the throwovers and the support brackets for squat and tell them they will need the relocator kit to make it work.
