I bought the Harley relocation kit for my Street Bob awhile back. Finally got the money to order saddlebags so I started installing it today.
First thing I had to do was go buy a motorcycle jack. No problem.
Then I came home and lifted it enough to get the rear tire off of the ground. I figured that would drop the tire out of the way of the bolt that runs through the fender.
Nope. Still won't clear it.
Do I have to disconnect the shock or am I missing something? I assume that taking out the bottom bolt is the easiest way to go?
not trying to thread highjack but i just got the kit and I'm really don't understand what you are doing when i comes to the wiring and pulling the wires out of the connector part of the instructions, Do i need to add more wire to them because my kit didn't come with wire.
You don't have to add wires. What you have to do is remove the wires from the plug so that you can get the signal wires through the hole in the fender. Then you reroute the wires underneath the fender instead of through the hole.
It really is a horrible set up. Unfortunately, it's the only one I know of.

When I did my wife's Sportster I actually cut the wire and soldered them back together after pulling them through. They provided some crimp connectors in the kit but solder and heat shrink are my preference.
