Do not read this if you like your rear turn signal relocated to the license plate. I do not, at least not on my Dyna. So as the attatched pictures show, I have moked up the mounting of the rear turn signals on the forward fender strut mounts, tucked up close to the shocks and seat. I am using the Chris Products 36 LED Bullet red turn signal #2020-0158. The problem has been that the Chris Products utilize a 5/16th -24 thred/inch stem hollow bolt. The bolt and bolt shaft on the fender stut and sissy bar plate attatchment pieces are 3/8th inch. And to futher complicate the matter you need a 2 1/2 inch bolt. The longest hollow bolt that I can find is 1 7/8 inch. So, through the bolt wiring was out. Therefore I am using a stem mount simular to the front stock turn signals. I found a 2 1/2 in. 5/16-24 stainless steel bolt at www.boltdepot.com. Howerver you need a spacer to run the bolt through a 3/8 in. shaft. Not easy to find. MSC Industrial Supply Co.http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT...PMPXNO=5390752 has a 3/8 in. OD and 5/16 in. ID by 12 in. stainless steal tube #78803772. You will need a 1 1/4in piece. A pipe cutter works nicely. You will also need a 1/4 in X 5/16 in. ID chrome spacer (another Chris Product item) to extend the bullet housing so it does not hit the side plate when attatched. Next up, installing the Badlands run-turn-stop controler and ditch the stock run-stop light and that ugly rear turn signal relocation crap. And yah, probably chop the rear fender!

 

Looks badass.

 

you could have bought the rear turn sig. relocation for a lowrider, It does the samething you did but @ the back strut mount.

 

not being a smarta.. but if youre gonna leave on the strut why move it?i thought the re-location was for mounting bags or whatever

 

Located that far forward, your bike will blanket one signal, unless the driver is directly behind you.

 

Yeah, not really getting the point of this. And is that bundle of wires getting tucked somewhere?
