Relocated the stocks.. The splice made it too large to pull through the blinker studs.. had to cut below the splice and resoldier afterwards

I know that this has been discussed a lot and most would
unplug from harness. I had a 2011 Sportster Custom and
wanted to relocate front signals so I called the dealer and
talked to the service manager asked what they would do
and he said they would cut and splice. I did it that way and
it worked with no issues. I would think the wiring would
be the same on a Superglide thinking of doing the same thing
but reading so many threads not many would cut and splice.
Has anyone done it this way with a Superglide?
Thanks in advance

There's no reason to cut and splice. You can take apart the turn signal and avoid it. Do a lookup, there are detailed instructions.

I did this just last weekend on my FXD. I took out about 8" on both sides (close to the frame holes) to do my relocate. Soldered the wires back together and used electrical tape to wrap each wire tight and then all together to stuff back in frame. Nice and secure and boy does it make the bike look better, especially with my SB mini apes.

Same here. Fronts are pointless for sure.

So I ended doing the same thing that I did to the sportster.I cut
them moved them and used butt connectors crimped and shrink wrap
electrical tape and 1/4 inch wire loom. Looks good took some time
but came out nice.
