Rear Turn Signal Relocation
Okay, with the HD turn signal relocation bar I put on officially broken, let's see what others here have done to move the rear turn signals off the fender struts to another location. Home made or other custom projects are welcomed as well as any aftermarket sources that have worked for someone.
It seems to be a popular project to clean up the rear of the bike and to allow for the installation of saddlebags.
Thanks in advance, I'm guessing that my HD part is no longer of much use since one of the mounting studs broke off. Oh yeah, photos would be appreciated in your post.

RE: Rear Turn Signal Relocation
I'm planning on relocating my signals to prepare for soft saddlebags next spring.
I will probably buy BOSS saddlebags (heard great things about them).
They sell a relocation kit for Lowriders & Superglides - with a laydown license plate holder - all preassembled and wired.
Picture is at : http://www.bossbags.com/images/lowlaydown.jpg
It looks decent.
If you want to read up on the product, go to their home page, click on PRODUCTS, then DYNA, then scroll down throug the accessories at the bottom of the page.

RE: Rear Turn Signal Relocation
I think the Boss Bag kit is the same as the HD one only includes turn signals, preassembled and wired for more $. I used the HD one on mine and it wasn't that had to install and wire.
I also have the Boss Bag saddlebags and they are very nice.
Dglide,
Maybe you could do a search on ebay and pickup a cheap used one from a touring bike and fit the turn signal bar to yours. The fender is different but you might be able to use the bar and then then attach to your existing tail light. Just a thought since there isn't much out there for the dynas.

RE: Rear Turn Signal Relocation
If you go to Boss bags, you have to relocate the rear turn signals off of the fender strut. I used the HD Laydown plate/ Turn signal combo. I like the looks better than the stock location. My only improvement to it would be to shorten the bar so the turn signals don't stick out as far. That Panacea light (Kuryakyn) I would imagine would not grab a cager's attention unless you had some auxiliary turn signals to go along with it.

RE: Rear Turn Signal Relocation
Are you wanting to move the signals strictly for mounting bags?
If not, relocate them to the fender somewhere.
DGlide04- I have the bar that you need from the relocation kit...was really worth $75.00 wasn't it!? PM me if you want to keep it the way it is since I don't really plan on using it.

RE: Rear Turn Signal Relocation
I have Leatherworks bags, standard harley bag mounts, a lay down license plate and we didn't use the extension bar for the tail lights. Mr. Wizard was able to figure a way to mount everything and leave my taillights right where they belong.
However, I don't know if I would be able to ALSO add a sissy bar considering the modifications he made. I must say the way he did this was pretty slick.
